The Galapagos Carpenter Bee (Xylocopa darwini) is the only bee occurring in the Galapagos archipelago and is an important pollinator. It selectively visits yellow to cream-colored flowers and has therefore strongly selected for plants with these flower colors within the Galapagos flora.

Students learned how hummingbirds and various insects support our ecosystem with their cross-pollination.
I don't know what most of these are so no description as such.

These tiny beetles were all over the orchids on Mount Mitchell. I wonder if they are just stealing nectar or actually contributing to pollination. They seem too small to be pollinators for these flowers. It was getting dark, the batteries in my flash had died, and the pop-up flash just doesn't work for macros, so I was having quite a challenge to get a picture. Had to crank up the ISO and most of them were blurry. This was the best of the bunch.

The Eastern Carpenter Bee is a spring pollinator, but is also classified as a wood-destroying insect. Female carpenter bees excavate round tunnels in wood. In human structures, carpenter bee nests are built in siding, soffits, fascia, and other exposed lumber. Because next generation bees may return to the same site where they were born, tunnels can be expanded over time and reduce the structural integrity of lumber. Woodpeckers can exacerbate damage by extracting bee larvae from wood structures through pecking.
Note that carpenter bees have a shiny abdomen compared to the hairy abdomen of similar-looking bumble bees. Male carpenter bees have a yellow spot on their face, will buzz and dive-bomb people near nest sites, but cannot sting. Female bees have an all black face, but are reluctant to sting.
