Don’t know what kind of bee this is, but it is small.

Nan, they are smaller than I expected.
Spooky, it is milkweed. My favorite one because I like the bright flowers.

Re: Random and miscellaneous pollinator photos
Here's a tiny "sweat bee". In the greenhouse I thought it was a leaf miner fly, gave it a swat and knocked it out. I put it in the dish to have a look then realized it was a bee... I thought I'd killed it. Went to get the camera and when I came back, she was awake and crawling around. I let her go after mandatory mug shots. Sorry not to catch her on a flower, but she is pretty all the same.
