Fishhook Cactus Blossom and Bee

Fishhook cacti have some really beautiful flowers. The cacti are pretty small and are usually nearby a protective tree, shrub, rock, etc. This particular cactus was only about 4 inches tall. I don't know the name of the bee that happened by as I was taking this picture.

Nice shot. The bee is difficult to tell from the top, but possibly a C. dupla or calcarata. Other similar species have white markings on their legs.
