A regular bee. Yep, it was an Eyetalian goombah honeybee singing O Sole Mio while scarfing down nectar from a Russian olive tree. This was the 1st regular bee I've seen in years.
Ironically, there were no bumbles. Normally, Russian olives are loaded with bumbles. Come to think of it, haven't seen many bumbles at all this yr. Maybe they're succumbing to the die back that has wasted the regular bees.
Geez, I can remember when regular bees were ubiquitous, but that's another story.
