My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

ID on a large bee? please

12 years ago

Hi all, am hoping some one can ID this large what looks like a bee in my garden?

This insect was very weak & sitting on a groundcover plant in the shade, when I placed the insect in the sun it quickly found another shady place to hide.

The images below were taken today, this insect is approximately 1 inch (or 2.5cm) in length much larger than most usual bees in my yard.
