Orange-legged Furrow Bee
Halictus rubicundus
Adult orange-legged furrow bees forage in flower-rich meadows, gardens, field margins, and open woodland clearings. They collect nectar for energy and pollen to provision their underground brood cells. Females excavate nests in bare or sparsely vegetated soil, while males often patrol flowers and nesting areas. Females can deliver a defensive sting when handled or threatened.
