EASTERN CARPENTER BEES

Squatting in a lilac type plant	Supping with orange tongue	With my finger to show size ratio, not poking it
Hovering backside	Hovering from front..so cute!	Wearing a purple petal hat
Exhibiting that odd stem clinging pose	Looks like a cuddly teddy bear from this angle	Wearing a petal hat
In pretty soft white setting	Good shot of its tongue	Funny shot of its saddle bags
Hovering	Hovering side

CALIFORNIA CARPENTER BEES

I saw something emerging from a morning glory

Decided it was a California Carpenter Bee despite finding it in NY, might be proven otherwise by an actual bee expert.
