Thanks, I thought that was two bees, when I enlarge the photo my old eyes can see the long abdomen.

See I got her!

She will really puff up this spring. I have enough bees to cover two opposing faces of a frame about the size of a dinner plate. When she can lay 7-900 eggs a day, her abdomen will be half again as big.
