    What a beauty, can't say I've seen bees this red before.

    PS: updated the common name, because "Mason bee" refers to many species or even a genus.     Posted 3 years ago

      Yes, it is the first time we saw one like this and I am very happy that my husband was able to catch it so nicely! :-) Posted 3 years ago
