Field Notes

Description:

I'm no expert on wasps so ID help here would be appreciated. Small wasp/hornet, around 1cm from head to toe. This one was completely black but appears yellow as it was covered in pollen from the flower it was sat on.

I agree with Juan - it's a bee in the family Megachilidae. Hard to get it beyond that.
Juan DiTrani
to me it could be a Megachilid bee because is carrying a lot of pollen on the bottom of the abdomen
