A somewhat destructive pollinator
The eyes might roll back in some people’s heads when the see these beasties forging on flowers and most are hoping that they keep their distance from any wood structure that they might have. Not your basic Bumblebee here, but the more destructive Eastern Carpenter Bee. They were busy gathering up nectar from the blossoms on the Vitex Tree and made for a decent capture. Photo taken at El. Franco Lee Park.
