Can you estimate the length of the bee? She looks like a member of the M. (Eutricharaea) subgenus but the absence of orange hair on the face makes me think it may be a different species - a smaller one.

It was quite a bit smaller than a European Honey bee it was about 10mm and it was very active and did not hang around long and it did not land on the flower.
