NKU REFS, Melbourne, KY, USA (Google, OSM)

Description

I was photographing little pollinators visiting the mostly weedy flowers in the lawn around the main building at NKU's field station (REFS) when a brilliant orange bee caught my eye. It was about 1 cm long and enjoying some henbit flowers.
Was this some new, colorful native that I'd never seen before? Nope -- closeups show it was painted with pollen. I guess it could be from the henbit, but there were also trout lilies nearby with copious orange pollen.

This poor bee got stuck in a trap meant for frogs and was half drowned. I picked her up and put her on a flower to rest and dry off.
