Yellow-faced Bee (Hylaeus sp.), female, on fennel flowers, Redwood City, San Mateo Co., CA - August 2009. Thanks to Dr. John Ascher for ID from photos on Bug Guide.
I quickly started pushing my luck and getting a bit too comfortable with the bees. This is at 70mm (70-300mm). The lens is Literally ON the flower and almost touching the bee.
**P.s as this is my first attempt at macro, feedback would be helpful... thanks**
I find it interesting that bees seem to only be working one kind of flower at any given time, even though they're are many different flowers right next to each other. One day it's Mexican Clover, the next Spanish Needles, but not both at once.
Worker bee which is 'fanning' at the hive entrance, She is exposing the white 'Nasonov gland' near the tip of the abdomen which exudes 'home' pheromone. The hive has been disturbed by my inspection and they are all 'broadcasting' the signal that 'this is home, everything is OK'.
Note that she has one full pollen basket - but she has dropped the other pollen load somewhere.
I've seen this insect for the last three days in my small prairie. It looks like a bumble bee but it perches on top of Golden Rod and hunts like a robber fly. Anyone know what it is?
