First native bee of the year! Habropoda laboriosa! This little male is out visiting some of the tiniest flowers. This is the first time he's seen me, and I didn't have time to get him used to my presence to get more refined photos.
But that's okay! Look how cute he is!

Hey friends/colleagues/advisors

So visiting NOLA and their insectarium had this unfortunate piece of misinformation - what donyou think would be the best way to approach the organization about it? #nativebees #notHoneybees
