[Pollinator] Unexpected Carpenter bee

[Peter Bernhardt]

Dr Ren and I have found that one of the best places to watch and catch bees
in the Kunming Botanical Garden is in a big avenue planted with nothing but
Mexican mealy sage.  Today I saw my first Chinese carpenter bees.  There
were dozens in the mealy sage avenue (males and females) along with at
least three Bombus species and two or three megachilid species I'd never
seen before,  I took this shot with my iPhone6 and it's the least blurry of
the lot.
