Grassland bee (note the pollen)….
Apostemon Bee on a Mariposa Lily (Bella Vista)
Most people here don’t know these beauties exist, and by that I mean both the flower and the bee.

Hive in an Industrial Cherry Orchard, Lake Country

Because hives like this are moved very quickly to allow for pesticide spraying in the orchard, they are continually foraging in emerging conditions, that do not bring wealth to the hive.
