Saw these little guys today several of them feeding on Colt's Foot in Eastport, Maine.
I've attempted to attach the photos.

What Kind of Bees Are They?

I would not have thought they were bees - I've not seen any like these where I am in Maryland. Can you tell us what kind they are?

Thanks!!

what kind of bees----for Kim

I'm not an expert-----the picture is small---but it looks like a small bumble bee. The teddy bears of the bee family. When I lived in Atlanta, GA----that's all I ever had in my garden----never saw a honey bee. Now in California, I haven't seen a bumble, but I have honeybees. CJosse

Oh Goodie! Can I report them

Oh Goodie! Can I report them or am I allowed just to report what lands on the sunflowers?

Do you know what kind of bee? There were several of them feasting today.

Still wondering what these little bees are?

They are back again this year. Click the link to see the photo. It is large and should be easy for an expert to ID. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y251/LeasaPix1/Bee.jpg

little bees

Given their shiny metallic color, I would say they are sweat bees, family halictidae.
