Can anyone identify this bee? We’ve had a few in the house

    Could be a female hairy-footed flower bee. There was a useful feature about them in the March 2019 Buzzword magazine and your bee fits the bill. I planted some Pulmonaria last year to try and attract them as it's their preferred plant but no sign yet.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I think Wild Edges is right with Mrs Hairy-footed Flower Bee
