Apis mellifera carnica
About 1/2" long. Yellow and black striped. Pollinating in my garden.
High desert grassland. 4500' elevation at the base of an oak forested mountain range.
The exact species identification is derived from the fac tthat this bee is actually out of one of my hives. While not native to the area, these bees are a familiar sight in and around parks through out the High Desert region and San Pedro Riparian area.
