Another 'Hairy'

I am sorry to bring you yet another picture of a Hairy-footed flower bee, but this beautiful female is one of quite a few who is happily nesting in one of the raised beds at work!
We were so pleased to find them, and have enjoyed watching the females return from foraging their rest-colored pollen sacs full of pollen, to find their own nesting hole where they can deposit the pollen to feed the developing larva. Personally I feel very lucky to have a colony of these gentle flower bees right on my doorstep.
