Scientific profile

Anthophora furcata is a univoltine solitary bee, with adults on the wing during June and July. It is oligolectic, meaning it gathers pollen from a narrow range of host plants. Females have an intertegular distance of 3.17 millimetres and a moderately long tongue measuring 6.45 millimetres. In Germany, the species is listed as near threatened (category V). The species is recorded in Great Britain, though its status is not precisely determined.
