Bee identification direction #864795

Asked April 16, 2024, 6:34 PM EDT

Hi, I have a park under construction in Milwaukie and we have evidence a very large amount of ground bees (miner/andrena, I believe). We are looking for some assistance with an expert identification and recommendations for safe construction. Our general contract is concerned about the safety of their employees especially a supervisor who is allergic. Photos of the bees are attached. I was able to witness them up close and very easily capture one. I did release the captured bee after getting a closer look. Do you have any recommendations? We have some deadlines we are trying to meet for grants that fund our construction, though we do want to make sure everyone is safe. Any direction you all can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Adam
