Another Type of Carpenter Bee |10% Beneficiary to shy-fox

I am still fond of hunting bees, this time I found another species of bee that stay under Xylocopa, one of the pollinators that used to be seen hovering over the flowers, a resourceful feeding spot for the most bees, including this typical bee (Xylocopa, carpenter bees, some short-tongued Bombus, or bumblebees, and some stingless bees). At glance, it looks like a Sonoran bumblebee with the yellow color attached to its back but it does not have any fur on it. So, after getting over some source, it is more likely included into carpenter bee rather than Sonoran bumblebee. Despite the differences, I am still having fun with bee hunting, and this afternoon I found another type of carpenter bee at the same spot where I also found some interesting insects. This typical carpenter bee, like the black one, was quite busy with flying by touching the flower, and then it flew again before hovering sometime over the wildflowers. So as I used to do when I found such a busy bee, I waited until it was calm while looking for a great chance to take the shots.
