So sedate....

7 years 5 months ago #503483 by Screamin Scott
A Male Carpenter Bee resting on my finger. The males will not sting as they have no stingers, thus I had no qualms about letting it on me. It was pretty much sedate as I had fetched it off a flower bract early  in the morning. Later in the day it would have never allowed this.

How can you tell if a male before you decide to get so close?

Some Bees are still around. I captured a Female Carpenter Bee a few days ago and no, I'm not putting her on my finger...LOL
