The Coneflower Mining Bee is a medium-sized bee with a black body covered in dense, yellowish-brown hair, especially on its thorax and legs. It has transparent wings and noticeable pollen-collecting hairs on its hind legs, giving it a fuzzy, golden-brown appearance, distinct from the shinier, less hairy appearance of honeybees.
