Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, USA
April 23, 2018
Have confirmed valley carpenter bees in the same spot on the same flowering Eve's necklace trees the year before in March 2017. The trees bloomed later in 2018.
Here are your confirmed bees from 2017: https://bugguide.net/node/view/1487687 and https://bugguide.net/node/view/1484355
