Andrena labiata nesting in the short grass here with one nest in the soil just by the cut end of the left hand log under the geranium.
I think three nests in the small area. there was a male A labiata present but too quick for a photograph.

Following close behind both in the grass and patrolling overhead.
Deep diving into the grass following an A labiata
Patrolling low over the grass.
