I do not yet know how or why ,..., but there she is and there you go ? I wonder if she glows in the dark, or has super duper heavy hauling capabilities like Hulk. LoL.

I have been around bees a long time, since birth. I am a hobbyist so my answers often reflect this fact. I concentrate on genetics, raise my own queens by wet graft, nicot, with natural or II breeding. I do not sell queens, I will give queens for free but no shipping.

THP,
That is really unique but I?m wondering if it just has some green pollen on its back. Especially since you are only seeing one in your hive.

I?ve noticed them in several of my hives in the last two or three weeks. I think it?s pollen on mine. We may be looking at two different situations though.

Doesn't look like pollen IMO. Perhaps a genetic variation? The closeup photo makes it appear as though the sheen of the exoskeleton on her abdomen simply has a green iridescence to it--doesn't look like anything is on it (e.g. pollen) at all to me. Simply beautiful!

Not pollen
Not lighting angle
Definitely a green bee, exactly as pictured. No ifs or maybes about it.
Definitely only one.
Definitely unique!
I left her to do her thing ... beeing beezy doing bee things. Perhaps we will meet again next week.

If it were a mutation there would only be one.

Did you try to feed it pizza, and does it do martial arts?
That?s really the only way to know.
