Description

The specimen was flying around an angiosperm bush with pink flowers along with many other specimens of the same taxa. It appears much like a honey bee, although the exact species I'm unsure. The specimen was relatively large for a bee (1 inch in length and 0.5 inches in width) and has yellow and black striped banding. It appeared to be in the process of pollination and was flying in and out of many flowers.
