Honey Bee and Mexican Buckeye

An early spring honey bee takes advantage of the first blooms of the season on a Mexican Buckeye tree (Ungnadia speciosa), near the banks of the Guadalupe River downstream from the Canyon Lake Dam. I do not know exactly what type of bee this is; the Mexican buckeye is native to Texas, found primarily from central Texas stretching south to Mexico and west to New Mexico.
