Glorious Wisteria and Busy Bees

Wisteria loves spring.

Warm temperature plus spring rain nurture wisteria.

Bees work overtime to get the nectars from the flowers.

This huge black bee makes loud humming noise and grabs the flowers tight, bumblebee? Or ???

Another close up of this black bee, the size is about three to four times of the regular honey bee.   There are several of these humming around.
