I think this might be the same species as the first pic above (this is a reply). Maybe it's just a leafcutter bee leaving the other one with the big head unknown.

This was on a daylily.

For #PollinatorWeek my ‘Redbud and the Bees’ #multimedia piece (#linocut #woodcut #printmaking #collage) explores how #redbud trees, are increasingly common in Toronto due to their popularity with gardeners and a warming climate. They are popular with our native #bees but this includes the Eastern carpenter bee (whose range is also expanding with climate change) …
