One of many bees nectaring on the plum blossoms. These tiny bees are rarely still, so it is difficult to photograph them. With their 'wasp waist' and lack of hair, they look like wasps, but are in fact bees. They are parasitic on andrenid bees and if you see nomadas, you are guaranteed to see andrenids nearby. Typically, you see nomada bees zig-zagging back and forth a few inches above the ground.
