Description: I took this photo among some wildflowers on loop 336 in Conroe, TX. I have some other shots of the same bee if there is enough interest in seeing it from different angles (side, abdomen, in flight). Thank goodness for 12x optical zoom! The flower is
Vicia dasycarpa or purple vetch. Date: 13 April 2006 (according to
Exif data). Source: No machine-readable source provided. Own work assumed (based on copyright claims). Author: No machine-readable author provided.
W0lfie assumed (based on copyright claims). Correction to title[
edit] After further research, the bee is
Xylocopa virginica, aka Carpenter bee, not a miner bee as in the title. Licensing[
