Mission accomplished - until next time. Today's mission was to get the Carpenter bee in flight. Hopefully I can improve on my next tour !
The last 2 photos were posted to put the first 2 in context
These Carpenter bees (Bumble bees) nest in a wooden structure which forms part of one of the buildings. How they know which hole (nest) belongs to them - only they know. Once they land on the "tree", they practically immediately dive into their hole - so it gets a bit impossible to capture them at this spot - as my one client tried
But I found a spot where they were feeding close by - and it was quite accessible.
