This bee is on a Spanish Needles flower.

This bee is on a Florida Native Bloodberry Bush.

This bee is on a Florida Native Firebush. My butterflies love this plant too. See the pollen on the back legs of the bee? It will take that back to the hive.

Does anyone know what this swarm is, and do they eat my butterfly larvae? If so, my email is at the bottom of every page on my site; please let me know if you know.
