Hi, everyone! I'm trying to help the pollinators and I figure I ought to know which bees are coming around in case there's something I can do to help them. Today, I noticed a fair amount of small bees on my Dune Sunflowers (Helianthus debilis) and Blanket Flowers (Gaillardia pulchella). Some of them looked a little bigger than the others, but I "think" they're all the same kind. If not, go ahead and correct me. I'm just trying to post the clearest photos so I'm sorry if they're two different bees.
