Male Mason Bee (Osmia)

Image by macropoulos
Flowers are teaming with wild bees at this time of the year, but they are pretty hard to shoot on the flowers, because they are constantly moving and fly away very quickly. The best place to capture them was on this wooden bench in the sun, where some of them chose to rest for a while and savor the warmth.
These two I posted (see the other one below) where both about 10mm long. They have the same eyes and built, but different body colors. I especially like the other one, with the golden abdomen and the reddish hair!
UPDATE: According to Nico’s wild bees & wasps and eucera, these are males of the genus Osmia (mason bees). See the other photo to read their comments. Thanks a lot guys!

Oh man.
For the record… I wasted most of Monday just glancing through the pool of "What’s In Your Bag?" before I submitted my own. I was sucked in… *lol*
