On top of a green cluster that resembled young fruit, a bee was busy examining every detail of the cluster. It appeared very solemn and meticulous in its examination. It seemed to fully understand that each tiny detail of the cluster was a beautiful gift nature had provided for its enjoyment. It didn't flee or fly away when I approached, but photographing it was still a bit difficult. It kept moving, making it difficult to focus on the camera.
When hit by sunlight, its translucent wings display a beautiful shimmer. A shimmer that never begs for our attention. Its body color is equally beautiful, black combined with brownish white. Its entire body is covered in thick, fine fur.
In Latin, this bee is known as Pseudapis oxybeloides. It is a member of the Halictidae family. It is also known as one of the world's primary pollinators, belonging to the genus Pseudapis. In terms of habitat, this bee, like other bees in general, prefers places with flowering plants. Bees cannot survive without flowers, as they are a source of food.
