There’s a male eastern carpenter bee (Xylocopa virginica) in that photo, but it’s really hard to see.

Here it is closer up in mid-flight guarding its nest in the deck railing.

Literature states that the males are biologically unable to sting even though they act in a threatening manner whenever a person gets close. I don’t want to test the veracity of that claim, but I do want to get a clearer photo of them in flight. My fingers are crossed ;-)

Quoted

The fifth principle or teaching of Bahá’u’lláh is the abandoning of religious, racial, patriotic and political prejudices, which destroy the foundations of human society. All mankind are creatures and servants of the one God. The surface of the earth is one home; humanity is one family and household. Distinctions and boundaries are artificial, human. Why should there be discord and strife among men? All must become united and coordinated in service to the world of humanity. 1
