  I don't know what my problem is here. It should be a common honeybee but coloring is wrong for anything I have seen around this area. Posted 7 years ago

    Sorry, I was referring to the lack of a title and location. I thought perhaps you uploaded it and forgot about it. Happens to me all the time. Posted 7 years ago

The Western honey bee
