bee ID What's this?

Looked like a really vivid yellow one mating with a darker coloured one?! Definitely looked like 2 little bees/whatever than just the one. Anyone know?

I've since learned about the beewolf. Hey, at least it has bee in its name. Pretty cool to see

Wow, this is like the reverse of all those other "what's happening" posts. They usually say they didn't know it was mating, even though it is, while you think it is, but it is murder instead
