Excellent detail including of those hairs/bristles on its back and hooked feet. A four-legged insect?

These bees with their fuzzy bodies are one of my favorite of the insect world. They are quite docile and don't mind me getting right on top of them to take a shot. My husband has been known to pet them. Excellent close up! BV!
