Cuckoo Bee

They are not completely fuzzy like other bees. Instead, they look more like wasps.
Cuckoo Bee species vary in color. Some are yellow and black, others are red and black. Some have bands of color, others lack them. None of the adults have pollen baskets on their legs since they do not need to collect grains for offspring.
