summer bees.  these micro-anthophoridae are bedding down for the night on a creosote branch.  around dusk the bees would buzz around the creosote branches looking for a good place to clamp their mandibles for a good night’s rest.  there were a couple hundred of these little guys sleeping over in my front yard for a few weeks. 

these little guys were about the size of the “zero” key on your computer keyboard.  very small, fuzzy bees.
