Sample Data by carrothersj on 07/22/2008

I have never seen these bees before 22 JUL 08. I have never seen any kind of bee in my 1 acre yard since moving here 7 FEB 07. These bees were identical and clearly behaving like bees with the sunflower. They were about 8-10mm in length and 2-3 mm wide. They had a brown to black color with bright yellow abdominal bands and bright yellow rear legs. Very striking!
