Last weekend I was tackling some garden clean up in the form of redoing the border that touches my neighbors yard by driving metal spikes to prevent ground / pavers from shifting into their yard. So as I was tooling around and clearing some leaves I found this…
It’s a the dried body of a bee. That’s right, it’s a dead and hollowed out shell of a bee. He still had complete definition of all his features with exception to a visible stinger no there, but his pollen pouches were still there!!
I found his shell near the patch of bee balm…
So these two bees pictured could quite possibly be in fact one in the same - COOLNESS!!!

Where I grew up, we would find locust shells still attached to the trunks of trees. They look very similar to the bee shell you found.
