This metallic bee means no harm. The echinacea needs the bee as much as the bee needs the echinacea. We are all the better for it.

If you think birds in flight are challenging, try insects like bees in flight. Quite a different story and in my experience harder.

One common question about insects is where to find them, even in the city. Look for them along the side of bushes and trees, along the water, on the edge of paths. Move slowly, watch for movement or something out of place.
