That's a lot of bees and wasps for November.

Yes, some of these, like the cellophane bees (Colletes), have a late flight season, and the garden bumblebees (Bombus terrestis) seem indestructible and adapted to human-altered environments, but the mining bees (Andrena) and sweat bees (Lasioglossum) ought to have been long gone for this season, rather than easy to spot on a leisure walk across the Cambridge Botanic Garden, UK.

There's even an #iNaturalist project collecting out of season bees

... which includes this observation of an Andrena cineraria mining from the Cambridge Botanic gardens inaturalist.org/observations/1
