Settled immigrants. Knickerbocker Farm, Giant Resin Bee, Megachile sculpturalis, on Lathyrus latifolius, Perennial Peavine, Pittsford, NY, USA
The Knickerbocker Farm displays 1842 as its date of origin, but it may well be older. The extended Knickerbocker family goes back on Harmen Jansen 'Knickerbocker' (c.1648-1720), who settled in what is now New York State from The Netherlands in the late seventeenth century.
Later exotic arrivals are this Bee and Flower; both settled here in the late twentieth century. The inset has a Giant Resin Bee on Perennial Peavine. Those flowers are to be seen in many places along the road in this area.
