Anthophora plumipes is a cute-looking bee that can be seen in parks and gardens throughout spring and summer. These bees have distinctively long hairs on their feet which is where they get their names. They are particularly fond of tubular flowers because they're long-tongued, meaning they're able to retrieve nectar from deep within the flower. Because they emerge early spring, they're considered critical pollinators for first spring flowers. These bees are often seen nesting in the cracks and crevices of brick walls and chimneys.
