Who's in my garden?
It's sometimes hard to identify an unfamiliar insect. Not so for this
little guy. It's obviously a yellow-faced something, in this case a bee.
Unlike other bees, yellow-faced bees don't have hairs or other external
appendages for carrying pollen. Instead, they transport pollen in a
special compartment of their stomach known as the crop (aka, honey stomach), and then regurgitate it in their nests.
