thanks for the suggestion Martha, editing is done
Hi Urifah: I recommend that you place the third picture as separate spotting as it looks like a different sort of bee. Unfortunately I cannot find at the moment a more accurate ID. Perhaps you can ask for help to the rangers bayucca or S Frazier. They know a lot more about insects in your area. Good luck! For the cuckoo bee I add here below the information in wikipedia. Since it is a parasitic bee, is likely not a honey-maker. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyreus_nitidulus
thanks for the ID @ Martha and Adarsha. I took their pics on the different places. the first and the second are in a same they smooth but the third is looked hairy like a moth. Do they produce honey?
