Apis sp.
The honey bee is about 12 mm (1/2 inch) long and usually yellow, with 3 or 5 dark brown abdominal bands. They carry two pairs of wings and lack the constricted abdomen (wasp waist) of the wasp and hornet. Honey bees can sting, but are much less aggressive than wasps and hornets.
On rosemary blooms.

It is coming slowly but surely. I took a trip south to see what it would be like :)
Send spring here too. PLEASE!!! I can't wait to see my insects and spiders again. We have a cold spell. Lovely spot!
