Aziza Cooper photographed this bee on Mount Tolmie on April 23. Unfortunately, writes Jeremy Tatum, I’m no good at identifying bees. I’m pretty sure it’s not Apidae. I think it’s one of Halictidae, Adrenidae or Megachilidae, which isn’t much help. If anyone can do better than this, please do let us know.
