The death camas miner bee[1] (Andrena astragali), is a species of miner bee in the family Andrenidae.[2][3][4][5] Another common name for this species is death camas andrena. It is found in North America.[2] It specialises in feeding on the highly poisonous Toxicoscordion venenosum and is possibly the only bee that can tolerate its toxins.[6]
