Bees I found a swarm of these fuzzy bees slurping up sap from a striped maple (Acer pensylvanicum). Some of the bees had silvery/white hairs and others were yellow. I&#039;m assuming they are different species and think the yellowish ones look honeybee-ish, yet fuzzier. Any help IDing them would be appreciated!
