Please check the placement of this bee!
Margarethe, I filmed a few bees that look like this and then I noticed this other post of yours is of very similar looking male bees. Are you sure about this male bee here? Here is your other image:


Yesterday, I filmed a close-up ID video of a male and a female (in the kitchen and outside) and I believe that they are all Navada Nomias. Please let me know what you think about this. Thanks

My bee is a parasitic female
she was collected after she got into the nest of the host species. She has nothing to do with your males. Check out my blog-link above - it gives you more of the back story
