User's notes
I think this sequence of images may show a pair of these bees mating. The first image shows what I assume to be the male just after landing on the flower adjacent to another bee that was already within the flower. This was followed by what appeared to be a brief mating. Not sure of the type of bee, assumed to be a Halictid bee.
