Around the same size or a little smaller than a Honey Bee. The hairiest bee around here. ID appreciated.

Male.
This specimen is a male, which makes things slightly more difficult when it comes to ID. My thinking is that this may be in the genus Andrena, but it would be awfully late in the year for them....You might want to contact Doug Yanega at UC Riverside and get his truly expert opinion.

Thanks Eric.
I usually don't try to "do" bees. After following your lead, and looking a little into Andrena possibilities, I think I will continue to not "do" them. Unless I collect a specimen, I will just let this guy remain a great looking bee that Eric Eaton thinks may be in Andrena. Thanks again for your response to my query. Charles
