Western Honey Bee

Apis mellifera

Common bee in this area with yellow and black striped abdomen and yellow head. This one is near its end I think a its wings are pretty banged up and it wasn't flying around very much.

In the back yard on a Hollywood Juniper tree

Notes:

The video is of two Western Honeybees in a frenzy on a pink rose.

I added a video of two western honeybees on a rose. I can't tell if they're actually wrestling over the pollen or if they're greeting each other.
