As an aside, titling these things is getting harder by the post lol

It looks like its throwing its arms in the air, much like I am doing right now realizing that my ambition of uploading bee photos from August is three months behind.

Or maybe there are no pockets?

The world of bee look alike is big! This seems to be a pollinator, and has a decent amount of pollen on its hind legs. It does have an ant body type, but also appears to have wings.

Bee?

Hover fly?

Ant?

Hybrid?

Something else?

Yeah, I know they're called basket or corbicula, but pockets is more fun.

Yesterday's photo may or may not have been a hover fly. This is certainly a bee.

Tongue first, ready to go for it. Just like when Aragorn kisses Arwen at the end of the last OG LORT movie.

Dare I say up-bloom?

Possibly "Colletes daviesanus". Tiny and cute.
