This bee has a somewhat furry look to it.It was yellow and black, but not a super bright yellow. it was small and it flew around very quickly. the wings were not huge and thick either. I found this on a flower.
I found this bee by a lot of flowers. It has 5 black strips and 4 yellow strips.
The European honey bee or western honey bee (Apis mellifera) is a species of honey bee. The genus Apis is Latin for "bee", and mellifera comes from Greek melli- "honey" and ferre "to bear"  hence the scientific name means "honey-bearing bee". The name was coined in 1758 by Carolus Linnaeus who, realizing that the bees do not bear honey, but nectar, tried later to correct it to Apis mellifica ("honey-making bee") in a subsequent publication....
