Sharp-collared Furrow Bee (Lassioglossum malachurum)

These nest in the hard packed soil of the footpath and there are aggregations of nests where the soil meets the shingle.

This one has been attacked by a female Cerceris rybyensis (Ornate-tailed Digger Wasp) and left on the path, presumably to be collected later.

The prey is covered in pollen, which gives the Cerceris a better chance of catching one and with the added advantage that the bee is making for a known point.
