It's a warm, sunny day after soaking rains eartlier this week. That means it's time for my cellophane bees to emerge in force!

This is my 16th year of observing this population in my garden. I'm always excited to see "my little bees".

Here's my blog post from the first year I noticed them, in 2008.
