A male Hairy-footed Flower Bee flies right to left towards a purple pulmonaria flower, with his long pointed proboscis extended. He is a chunky solitary bee, about 1.5cm long, with a long, pale cream face and a mixture of buff and grey hair covering his body. His middle legs have over-long tarsi decorated with long plumes of black hair, which can be seen here on the nearer middle leg, floating in the wind.

A male Hairy-footed Flower Bee flies over a patch of mauve aubretia flowers. He is a chunky solitary bee, about 1.5cm long, with a pale face and greyish-buff hair covering the rest of his body. He has a very long proboscis, which he is keeping extended as he flies from one flower to the next. It is heavily coated with pollen, and he is using his front feet to remove some of this as he flies.
A female Hairy-footed Flower Bee feeds from a viburnum flower, using her very long tongue to reach down the flower tube towards the nectary. She is a chunky black bee, about 1.5cm long, with a bright ginger pollen brush on her back leg, and small ginger highlights on her middle leg and face.

A Hairy-footed Flower Bee hangs by his claws from a grape hyacinth, inserting his long tongue into one of the flowers to drink the nectar. The flowers are bulbous, and blue with a fluted pale rim. The bee is about 1cm long and chunky. The pile on his head, thorax and abdomen is mostly ginger, and his face is creamy yellow. His middle legs are elongated and carry the long plumes of hair that give this species both its common and part of its binomial names.

A Hairy-footed Flower Bee hangs by his feed from the lowest flowers of a grape hyacinth, inserting his long tongue into one of them to drink the nectar. The flowers are bulbous, and blue with a fluted pale rim. The bee is about 1cm long and chunky. The pile on his head, thorax and abdomen is mostly ginger, though it's pale underneath his chin and thorax. His face is creamy yellow. His middle legs are elongated and carry the long plumes of hair that give this species both its common and part of its binomial names.

A fresh male Hairy-footed Flower Bee feeds from a half-open pink pulmonaria flower. He's about 15mm long, and quite chunky. His body is covered with dense ginger hair, and his face, which is long and pale, has a covering of white hair. His eyes are black and grey, and faintly spotty. His legs are densely covered with black and white hair, and the middle pair, which are elongated, have long plumes of hair on the mid-tarsi.
Ta-da!
