Amegilla cingulata
Amegilla cingulata, commonly known as the blue banded bee, is an Australian native bee.
Blue banded bees can sting but are not as aggressive as other bees. The males cling to plant stems during the night. Like the whole anthophoridae family, they are quick and agile. They are solitary creatures, whereas honey bees create hives.
