I've been trying to get a photo of one of these #bees for weeks. Finally got this one to stay still long enough for a shot. Not entirely sure what kind of bee this is, but pretty certain it is in the #Megachilidae family. #insect #Hymenoptera #macro #garden #bee

Didn't even realize that this is National Pollinator Week so here is another bee photo today, of my favorite, an Agapostemon bee collecting pollen from a lovely blue chicory flower. Happy Pollinator Week! #bee #hymenoptera #insect #pollinator #pollinatorweek #pollinatorweek2016 #agapostemon #macro #chicory #garden
