This may be a small insignificant shot of a bee but it took a long time to capture with my very basic equipment and the bees themselves have generated a lot of discussion and research. They are usually solitary. However for the few days the guava tree was in bloom, they filled the tree and everyone who visited had a comment to make on how they had never seen such numbers in one spot. They are like bumble bees but are distinguished by their black shiny abdomen.
