cmarioniDescription
This bee was big, about an inch long. It was found collecting pollen in the flowers that have been planted. It’s body and six legs were all very hairy. It’s body had alternating colors of black and yellow. The bottom part of the bee is black while the top has the famous black and white stripes pattern. The start of the black wings that are about 3/4 the length of the body are attached to the body. The six black legs end with a “sharp hook” that are most likely used to get a good grip on the plant they land on.
