User's notes

There was a truckload of these very small almost all black native bees (most had yellow necks), At first I thought they were flies because they had a zig zag flying pattern like a fly, but when they landed they looked like traditional native bee shape. There were lots and lots and lots of them. Could have been 100 or 500 or 1000. I only had access to 1.7M and below.
