The diversity in size, shape, and color of our native bees is truly breathtaking. From the soft white coats of Centris pallida, to the metallic shine of an Osmia ribifloris, or the simply gothic Andrena, there is a bee to satisfy anyone’s aesthetic tastes.

Among the bee-loving community, there are many who practice the art of bee photography. Thanks to them, we can enjoy an up-close view of bees both big and small.
