User's notes

there were these smaller black bees but they were very hard to see and very quick to fly off.

Leioproctus species probably.

Thanks Peter. In my bee book it looks like Homalictus sphecodoides (sounds like a spell from Harry Potter). I could see them flying about but when they landed they became invisible!
