Hello Mr. Bee ! (Wasp look alike)

EXPLORE #38 (Highest Position)

 

NOTE: Thanks to Lord V for clarifying that this is a kind of Hylaeus Bee which look a lot like Wasps.

 

It was quite odd to me that one of these usually very active wasps was just laying there on the flower.....presumably doing nothing of any sort. So I managed to get really close and get a lot of shots. I do hate the fact that the flower bud is blocking a part of the mouth but I also like this shot because this little guy is one of my favorites to shoot in Macro.
