Small Scissor Bee
Chelostoma campanularum
Chelostoma campanularum, or the harebell carpenter bee, is a species of hymenopteran in the family Megachilidae. It is found in Europe and Northern Asia (excluding China) and North America.
The bee is small and black (6-7mm) with a single flight period from mid-June to mid-August. The male has a two-pronged peg on the final segment of the abdomen and the female has snow white pollen collecting hairs on the underside. It is most easily seen on Bellflowers (Campanula species) and Sheep's bit.
