## Caption

Since we're all about bees and Monarch Butterflies lately, thought to share this great little pictorial guide on how to quickly tell bees apart from one another.  Some other things to consider: 
1) Bees generally have very little or no obvious thinning of the body between the abdomen and thorax. ...
2) Bees are generally all covered in hair. ...
3) Bees and other hymenopterans, like wasps, have two long independently moving appendages on their head called antennae.
Do you have a bee hive in your garden?  We'd love to see it!  Post photos below!
