Who's in my garden?

It's sometimes hard to identify an unfamiliar insect. Not so for this

little guy. It's obviously a yellow-faced something, in this case a bee.

Unlike other bees, yellow-faced bees don't have hairs or other external

appendages for carrying pollen. Instead, they transport pollen in a

special compartment of their stomach known as the crop (aka, honey stomach), and then regurgitate it in their nests.
