A male Xylocopa caffra is a male carpenter bee that is uniform and lacks a stinger. Males are typically yellowish-green to greenish-yellow and have a yellow or white face. They are often seen hovering near nests to guard them from other flying insects, which they do aggressively but without malice, as they are incapable of stinging

Hi Lydia, thanks for the compliment. Sorry about the error, here we go: https://esmesalon.com/es-98-wordlesswednesday-words-welcome/ Not sure what’s up I will check it out.
Update: Found the culprit, and fixed it, thanks for letting me know.
Beautiful bees. I love all things bees. We planted lots of wonderful plants that bees love this year. It’s heartwarming to see so many enjoy the plants.
Thank you for hosting the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week. Thank you for all you do, Esme. ♥
That’s amazing that you take care of the bees and planted some ‘food’ for them.
Bees are fascinating creatures!
They sure are interesting and this carpenter bee specially as they are incapable of stinging
