Front Yard bees - Andrena vicina - Female
Balaban front yard, Skokie, Cook County, Illinois, USA
April 28, 2015
Two kinds of bees in the front yard today. One kind seemed to be busy gathering pollen from Anemone quinquefolia. Will post a half dozen shots since we don't know what might be useful. Feel free to frass as many as appropriate. Hope there is enough here for an ID

Anything in particular we should try to photograph
if we see them again, or are these just not possible to get to species from a photo?
