Yes, definitely bees ... but bees are just fluffy wasps Wink If you could get a good look at a bee's body hair you should see that it is branched, making it look fluffy, unlike a wasp's which is straight.

Apoidea = Bees: Hairs bifid or bifurcate, or feathery ,or barbed ( hind thorax Nomadidae )! View in granzing light with binocular!


Others : Vespoidea, Sphecoidea, and Pompiloidea....... simple hair!

Hello,

The male and female don't have the same white marks on the face?
