Andrena trimmerana - Trimmer�s Mining Bee

Range & Status

Widely recorded in southern England from west Cornwall to east Kent and northwards to Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Bedfordshire, Suffolk and from south Wales. There are numerous older records and at least 12 post-1980 sites, mainly coastal, but also two recent records from open woodland at Lamorran. This is a very local species which has declined over much of its range, especially at its more inland sites.
