#FurrowBee

2025-07-08

I was trying to get a photo of the little bees after I took photos of this big bumble bee but wasn't successful but I see I got a good picture of one with the bumblebee. I think it's a Ligated Furrow Bee minus it's usual coating of pollen but it has a little bit stuck to it. The big ones is a Brown-belted Bumble Bee Bombus griseocollis I think.

A large bumble bee on a pink bee balm flower and a very small black bee to it's right in flight. The small bee is about the size of the bumble bees face width.

If I’m not mistaken this is a great banded furrow-bee (Halictus scabiosae)

Macro shot of a bee sitting on a flower. The hairs all over the body are clearly visible, as well as the pollen on the hind legs. Equally striking are the deep black eyes.

A furrow bee of some sort (g. Halictus). I think :-)

Carl Schurz Park in early June.

An orange-legged furrow bee (Halictus rubicundus) wiping some pollen off its face in Carl Schurz Park. These are a type of sweat bee, and the same species can be either solitary or eusocial. Not sure which this one is, but it was covered in pollen and having a blast in some sunflowers.
