Or maybe there are no pockets?

The world of bee look alike is big! This seems to be a pollinator, and has a decent amount of pollen on its hind legs. It does have an ant body type, but also appears to have wings.

Bee?

Hover fly?

Ant?

Hybrid?

Something else?

Yeah, I know they're called basket or corbicula, but pockets is more fun.

Yesterday's photo may or may not have been a hover fly. This is certainly a bee.

Tongue first, ready to go for it. Just like when Aragorn kisses Arwen at the end of the last OG LORT movie.

Possibly "Colletes daviesanus". Tiny and cute.

Most of the time when bees visit these flowers they completely disappear from view. I suspect this one was about to do just that.

As a fun note, if you pop the photo out and zoom in, you can see that its head looks a bit like a helmet with a narrow neck going into it.

This bee was big/beefy. If any of you know what species it might have been, chime in. If it helps, I'm in SE MI.
