A dark brown bee with white stripes on her abdomen is foraging in the bottom of a yellow composite flower, legs splayed to the side for purchase. Her two back legs are covered in long, blonde, silky looking fur

Don’t often get to see these ladies w/ out pollen in their pollen pants- they really do look like fun fur leg warmers worn to a rave in 2002

Melissodes/ long-horned bee in Grindelia
