Long-horned Bee

Flowery meadows, grasslands, and woodland edges with loose soil for nesting.

Nectar and pollen from flowers, showing a preference for legumes such as vetches and clovers.

Solitary ground-nesters; males have distinctive long antennae and often congregate in sleeping clusters on vegetation.

Vital pollinators for native wildflowers and crops; they are non-aggressive and generally do not pose a risk to humans.
