Hey nature observers! Here I share some macro pictures taken a few days ago. At that time, I observed a sweat bee perched on a Lantana flower.

It's common to find a sweat bee on a flower because all bee species are actually insect pollinators.

Based on what I have observed, sweat bees are a species of bee that tends to live in small swarms, unlike honey bees which live in large colonies.

I have several times encountered swarms of sweat bees congregating in the early evening on weeds. It's a common behavior of sweat bees that you won't find in the morning or midday when the weather is hot. And how do sweat bees build their hives? That's something I've never found until now.

The bees you share are very detailed, and the compositions with flowers are another cool thing. I'm also curious how honeycomb sweat :D
