It apparently lives alone. I’ve gotten to know its buzz now from other bees.  I wonder if the motor on my autofocus alerts it to my presence or whether its big eyes just takes everything in, even when it’s flitting from flower to flower.  Note the pollen on its back leg.

This is the blue banded bee and it’s enjoying the red and white Salvia in the garden
