Black Lemon - _TNY_5752

The day after I stumbled upon a banded dark bee in a yellow flower (www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/53131493747/) , a species which hasn't been reported that far north in Sweden before, I found a second cute little bee in the very same flower.

 

This time it wasn't as extraordinary, but this masked bee (Hylaueus sp.), also known as a yellow-faced bee, was still a neat find and worth a couple of shots.

 

These are quite small bees and for some reason, they have a faint smell of lemmon if you manage to get close enough to have a sniff.
