When people here think of bees, they think of honeybees, which are very common and quite large. However, they aren't native to North America. About 4,000 species of bees native to North America have been identified, but most people rarely notice them because many are very small and they usually appear in smaller numbers.
We try to plant native species of plants, so we see a lot of different pollinators. I discovered this year that chive flowers attract a considerable variety of native bees, most very small, and some beautifully colored. Unfortunately, because they are small, they are very hard to photograph.
This is a face-on view of what I think is a bee, sitting on a chive flower. I had to crop fairly severely to get it to this size:
However, I haven't identified it. It could even be a wasp. If anyone has an idea, I would love to hear more. The antennae are very close to each other, which is wasp-like, but the legs are a little hairy for a wasp. Also, in this additional photo, the wings are over the back, which is more common for bees. I'm posting this second one just for identification.
