Field Notes

Description:

This is male Carpenter Bee as I found out. There are sometimes females around but never at the same time. It is a great pleasure to see them around as due to massive poisoning of bees and bumblebees because of pesticides used on the crops without limits these beautiful and useful insects are becoming less and less.
