Description
Of all the lovely springtime pollinators that visited the bush outside my front door - bees, hoverflies, moths, butterfiles, my favorite is still the rarely-seen (and first time ever for me) Honey-Bellied Sweat Bee (Agapostemon melliventris). I hope they come back next spring.
(thanks for answering my questions on my last post about the new site changes, and for those who asked, the ocean sunset was in WA state).
Thanks very much for looking and for your kind comments.

This is fascinating and I'm not sure what I am looking at. Looks like two creatures belly to belly.
A super pic and a newbee for me Maria.
a wonderful bee it is ! I love the colors of it
new one to me too
Beautiful capture Maria.
Nice!
Such a lovely shot of this little buzy be :)))
I love the green !
What a beauty! Stripes and pale green ... so chic! It's no wonder you like this one. Hopefully you'll get a whole raft of them next year!
cool, that's a head dip in surfing terms ;)
There are nearly 20,000 known species of bees in seven to nine recognized families. Bee-cause of your exquisite macros of these industrious insects, Maria, I really like your varied collection of these handsome pollinators. And it does look like two of them going at it belly to belly.
wonderful
Wow...nicely done....
