The cutest, smallest bees.

Tried to find the taxonomy of these little things. There are so many types of bees around us that it's difficult sometimes. Something that we are very thankful for. Digger bees, carpenter bees, big fuzzy yellow and black bumbles. These ones burrow in to compacted hard pan clay that is horizontal. Unfortunately that usually means pathways and roads. They peer out of their little burrows waiting for the photography session to be over in order to get on with the work. Their length is approximately 6mm.
