The biggest bee you'll ever see

Photo by Ned Harris 4/4/2012

We saw this quarter-sized bee on the nature walk with Ned and Friends of Ned. Thanks to Margarethe Brummerman for the id of this male Carpenter Bee. (I call him a hum-bee.) Be sure to click here for photos she took the same day. Here for her insect blog. And here for her great watercolor art.
