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.

Green Orchid Bee?

15 years ago

Hi:

Can anyone confirm that this is a green orchid bee? I have several of these bees hanging around my black sapote tree. I am in West Palm Beach, Florida and I've heard that these are newly introduced from Mexico.

Thanks for your help,

Julie
