BOB - the Big Orange Bee


This is completely unrelated to "work" but...

My relationship with BOB (the Big Orange Bee) is written up in an article on the front page of Saturday May 1, 2004 San Francisco Chronicle Home and Garden section and includes a photo I took of him.

BOB is a male Valley Carpenter Bee.

Another photo of BOB that I took.

That’s all the non-blurry photos I’ve been able to take. He never alights.

My gardener is Jeffrey Caldwell.
