Mining Bee Identification

Mining Bee Identification

Darryl Moore
Courses

The genus Andrena contains the mining bees and is the largest bee genus in Britain & Ireland, with around 70 species. With so many species within a single genus, it is not surprising that identifying mining bees to species can be quite tricky.
This microscope-based course by the Biological Recording Company at the Natural History Museum, will start with a brief introduction to the ecology and biology of mining bees, before delving into the identification features that are used to separate different species from one another. Learners will work through the mining bee teaching collection of preserved specimens, using ID keys to reach a species determination. A bee specialist will be on hand to advise if species determinations are correct and provide feedback when learners have difficulties.

Time: 10:30 GMT
