I have more bees than anything else around where I live. I have a lot of the Beggarticks flowers (white with yellow middle) in my yard and they just love `em. The other insects like them too.

A Scoliid wasp. Sometimes they will stick two of their legs straight up when getting pollen

Beautiful!

The green sweat bees are such a stunning color. I doubt many people know that they even exist. I didn't until I got sucked into this vortex.

I've been chasing a couple striped green sweat bee for a couple of days. I've got a good straight on shot, but the side shot showing the stripes - well.. not happening.
 
Amazing colors. Those sweat bees are absolutely beautiful. Great captures!

Me too, never noticed before until I got into this hobby/wormhole, they are small compared to the other bees

I hear you, they don`t stay on the flower very long so you have to be fast with everything, composure and focus with in a couple of seconds, if you don`t, they are on to the next flower
