Bee on Burdock, Pt. 4 - _TNY_3695

Unfortunately, I have not been able to figure out which species of bee this is, but it is one of the leafcutter bees (Megachile sp.) - possibly a patchwork leafcutter bee (Megachile centuncularis).

 

The flower it is looking pretty on is a woolly burdock (Arctium tomentosum) which was growing in the Tyresta National Park.
