Osmia latreillei is a species of mason bee belonging to the family Megachilidae subfamily Megachilinae.
It is mainly found in France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, and Spain.
These mason bees are oligolectic, gathering pollen only from Asteraceae species.[1] They fly from April through July and the larvae feed directly on pollen grains.[2]
