This is from my yard in Dallas in the summer of 2008. (I hope the photo is clear enough. )

Thanks very much.

Texas Bee

I wonder if they could be Mason or Solitary Bees. They are studying them here in Utah at Utah State University and they almost look like the pictures I have seen in their editorials.

The Texas sunflower--bees

I see honeybees here. But the little bees in this picture are a puzzle. I have them also---and don't know what they are---they look just like honeybees----but only about one third the size. I also would like to know what they are. CJosse

I don't see any honey bees

I don't see any honey bees in this photo. The larger bees look like leafcutters (Megachile). They are gray rather than the brown color of honey bees.

The smaller ones? Hum...
