There is an extensive drift of Bugle flowers in my garden and is very popular with the bees.Among the visitors are several Hairy-footed(or furry-footed) Flower Bees,Anthophora plumipes.
Although not a true bumblebee it is about the size of a small bumble.The males are rather gingery in colour whereas the females are black with yellowish hind legs.They tend to be very fast flyers.
