Have just found out that there’s a species of bee colloquially known as “blood bees”. And YouTube has no good videos on them! Anyone have a podcast, video, or article on them? My googling hasn’t turned up anything terribly informative, let alone entertaining #bees #entomology #apidae

Sort of has stripes in a pattern like a lot of hoverflies; but obviously has bee eyes, and if you look close, you'll see four wings

Small, point-mounted red and black bee on a grey background. The first three metasomal segments are reddish and the rest of the integument is black. Though quite small, the bee appears stout and robust. The body is densely punctate and there are dense patches of white appressed setae, mostly on the sides of the mesosoma and on the apical fringes of the tergites.
The 2025 Bee Course wrapped up on Sunday after 10 amazing days of lab & field work in the Chiricahua Mountains in AZ.
We collected bees representing about 42 genera of bees! This is Holcopasites (prob. H. minimus) I collected during the course. 🐝 👀 ♥️

I went to the zoo yesterday! Lots of cool animals, but you guys get bees and otters.
First the bees, doing their bumbly things. Buzzing. Contemplating honey.
