User's notes

It's a long shot, but this was a particularly little bee so perhaps its size is a distinguishing feature.

The shape of the head is not like that of a bee. The antennae are set very low on the face like those of an ant.

I think you are right Michael, but not much else to say about it! Cheers, Jon
