Field Notes

Description:

Abdomen contains blue colored bands which are visible when flying !

Notes:

This beautiful bee was found on a sunny morning .After some reading i found out that these bees are solitary ,and you can determine weather the bee is a male or female by counting the number of bands on its abdomen , i think this is a female bee . And also found out that these beauties prefer blue flowers !
