Of Creeping Phlox -
Male Carpenter bees have a white spot on front of head -

A superb montage of this glorious bee, with thoughtful presentation showcasing the bee and its habitat. I very much like the colour of the phlox, it is so effective as a front of border plant. Thank you.

I smiled at your comment about buzzing the bee; very brave! My tip when dealing with bees that do sting: I find if I step back a few paces if a bee "challenges" you through buzzing or flying at you it reassures them that you mean no harm and they usually go about their business. I then wait two or three minutes and return to photograph some more. However, one should always use caution with honey bees especially if there are many of them as they are more aggressive than other bee species.

Thank you for your visit and Bee 101 education! I understand about honey bees as I have a friend who raises them ..
The male Carpenters are the only ones I buzz at .. leave the female Carpenters alone !
