Huge Golden Bee - Xylocopa sonorina

Huge Golden Bee - Xylocopa sonorina
San Jose, Santa Clara County, California, USA

Huge golden bee, very furry on the back. Seemed wobbly so I put him in a shady ivy bush & sprinkled water near it. Too bad I wasn't at home or I'd have gotten it some honey water...
