D71_4239-Edit

            This a 2nd attempt to show a comparison of the Western Honey Bee to the size of a local native bee, in this case a Metallic Sweat Bee.

Rather trying to capture them in the same frame (and the focus and DOF complications involved), the specimens were photographed about 10 minutes apart on the same flower petal (Wild Radish), and show side by side in as close to the same scale as possible.

The native bee measures about a third of the length of the honey be, making it approximately 1/30th the size in volume.
