These big bees are loving this bee balm. Does anyone know what kind they are? Some are a more bright yellow on their back and some have almost dark orange where the yellow is. Central Missouri.
Not pictured, lots of flys on the thyme. I never knew there were so many different types! Our unmoved clover patches have honey bees all over them.

Looks like monarda bradburiana
Pics 1/2 show a bumblebee though I’m not sure which one, 3/4 are of a female eastern carpenter, very nice! I’m excited for when my patch finally blooms 🙂
