Actually I was asking about the photo right on the page I posted a link to,
which is not a honeybee at all (though it looks quite similar):
http://www.blessedbee.ca/diary/item/24
A couple folks have now informed me that this is a carpenter bee, and with
that pointer in hand I was able to confirm that. I am pleased to have
learned something about a kind of bee I was not familiar with before.
Thanks for the interesting tidbits about honeybee queen abdomen colours. I
have just installed my first Carniolan queen, and I shall watch to see if
that colony is more inclined to swarm and less aggressive than my other
bees.
Best regards,
Frank.
