User's notes
Not the best of images. Provided for NatureMapr’s records. Despite the rain, there were several Carpenter Bees collecting pollen from the blossoms of this tree. The first image shows two of them together. As the rain intensity increased the bees left the tree heading west in the direction of Black Mountain Tower.
