I recently returned from vacation to the Sequoia/Kings Canyon national parks in California. It was an awesome trip! Just beautiful.
I did some "bee-watching" while I was hiking the trails and discovered a gigantic bee pollinator among patches of purple lupine. The bee looks like some strange mutant beetle/bumblebee hybrid. I saw literally thousands of these bees in the parks.What kind of bees are these? I believe they are female Valley Carpenter Bees.
I also stumbled upon honey bees as I was sitting on a boulder along the Trail of Sequoias, admiring a fantastic view of the Sierra Nevada. I wonder if these honey bees live inside of the hollows of the gigantic sequoias?
