This is a carpenter bee. It doesn’t live in a hive but in holes it makes itself, sometimes by itself, sometimes in social groups with its sisters They are huge and black but have the most beautiful, shiny blue wings. And they are very important pollinators. They love vetches.

Oh, I didn’t know my friend was a carpenter bee.
