I saw a number of bees so far this year at various locations, the first being early April in New Cumberland.  I saw one of the fake bees today.  A tiny one and I forget the name.  I believe it is a sweat bee or something like that.  I took photos of it last year.

Sincerely,

James R. Hirtle

We've had B. ternarius in the garden for at least a week now. Today
there were 4 on a small-medium patch of Scilla and a couple on a Pieris
that's attracting a lot of flies, too. No B. impatiens yet.
