Great Banded Furrow Bee
Halictus scabiosae
Great banded furrow bees inhabit flower-rich grasslands, gardens, field margins, and other open places with suitable bare soil for nesting. Adults fly between flowers to drink nectar, while females gather pollen to provision individual underground brood cells. This largely solitary bee is named for the conspicuous pale hair bands across its dark abdomen.
