Macro A Bee with Onion Breath!

This bee was on an onion blossom. I was amazed at how many there were hovering around these plants. Taken with a K-50 using a SMC Pentax-FA 50mm f:2.8 macro lens.

An Eucera of some sort? Post to Bugguide.net if you want a shot at ID.

Eucera hamata seem to be common.

Looks more like Apis mellifera
