but we can take on the whole World.
These characters look like they are on shared guard duty but they just happen to be in the same place, enjoying the sun.
I find solitary bees difficult to identify but I think these are Miner Bees, Andrena labiata.[Edit] Confirmed as this species by Matt smith of BWARS [Edit ends]
They started on Bryony leaves and one moved to a, very mobile, Crocosmia leaf.
EM-1, Manual Mode, Kiron 105mm, f16, twin flash, hand-held.

Thanks, Brian.
They escaped from this forum at my first attempt!
The species name is as I thought.
