To me, the bee looks more like a social parasitic bumble bee (Bombus, subgenus Psithyrus), based on the lack of pubescence on several of the abdominal plates (so they are shiny) and the recurved abdominal tip. I would need to see more parts to confirm this though. Cheers, Cory Jim Wolford <jimwolford@eastlink.ca> wrote: Cory, Can you help with this "mining bee" re identification?
