Description

Much hairier than a California Cuckoo Bee… Looking through Tribe Melectini pictures, I found this: https://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20p?see=I_YORKU1008&res=640&flags=subgenus:, and this: https://bugguide.net/node/view/1513711… Separated Cuckoo Bee? This species would have 7 RG observations in California, so range would check out. The bee was feeding on Common Fiddleneck.
