Who can ID this bee?
I have seen those fuzzy, fatty bees around (Portugal), but I have no idea what they are. I believe the could be from *Anthophora* family. 

![pelargonium bee 1.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYY7T8TGHc3pvnHDgkU4pALKG6gdbVJQjP8pL2u8YSbHu/pelargonium%20bee%201.jpg)
<sub>Nikon D5500 + Sigma 105 (f/8, 1/400, 105mm, ISO100)</sub>

They are more round than regular honey bees, a lot more furry and lighter in colour. More grey. And what I like the most about them is that they move in completly different way. A bit like hummingbirds. Changing position very fast and they freeze in the air. They can also feed on a flower without sitting on it.

One shot, two show *puff* and she is gone!

I have them visiting my balcony from time to time. Here are the shots I managed to take.

Hairy bootie :P
