Didn’t realize my camera settings were wrong until it was too late. Hopefully these will do. Wings were reddish nearer tegulae, and smokier toward the wing tips. Very yellow. Ventral shot shows male “spots” on T7.

Definitely one of the coolest bees I've ever seen. There were a few of these on the phacelia. I didn't check all the different phacelia plants for them but one of the plants had several on them.

Each of these lilies had two to four bees in them. The bees seemed to be "hanging out" in the lilies.
