Hi,
Is/are there European identification keys/tables and/or a field guide for Wild Bees Genus/Species:

amegilla / quadrifasciata;
anthophora / dispar;
epeolus / fallax;
tetralonia / malvae;
xylocopa / iris;
xylocopa / valga;
ceratina / chalybea;
tetraloniella / fulvescens;
tetraloniella / inulae;

epeolus / fallax;
I recommend this key (I saw it somewhere in pdf and if you cant find it you probably can write to one of the authors) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30313168/

xylocopa / iris;
xylocopa / valga;
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/288168143_Revision_of_the_Xylocopinae_Hymenoptera_Apidae_of_France_and_Belgium
You have there also some species of Ceratina but it’s a local key so you have to check whether it covers all species of your interest
In general, I recommend this site to looking for keys (many are available in pdf to download) https://www.idmybee.com/bibliography.html
I personally like keys from Fauna Helvetica but they are not applicable for te whole Europe (in the Mediterranean there are species which are not present in Central Europe)

Hi,
I found this book “Bees of Europe - Hymenoptera of Europe 1 - NAP Editions” (ISBN:978-2-913688-34-6). For a review of the book see HymenoVaria 20, page 46 (https://hymenoptera-nev.nl/pdf/HymenoVaria20.pdf?fbclid=IwAR3VMQHzaFGLY0SbS5lXkPQojDye7py42pyaFwgB9YnQGItl-eM_LahnMUI ). You can only use to book to determine Genus!
Regards,
