Ciao
Paolo

Hello everyone! I don't think it's H. gerstaeckeri . I think it's H. longicolle Abeille. This species is quite common in SE Europe till Bulgaria, and probably also in Romania. The main difference is given by the lenght and colour of the hairs, ...

Could you dissect the male genitalia?

Thanks
