Non-honey bees

It’s such fun to look at the bees in an aggregation at the beginning of their flight season – let’s say, Colletes cunicularius in early spring – when males are flying like crazy and looking for virgin females. When they spot one, a mating ball forms immediately around her, with numerous males trying to get their chance.
I must add, in the real life males rather can’t be so easily fooled like on this cartoon, but quick escape of the successful male with his mate can be practiced in some species.
