Says the dictionaries:
"Arapuã - (Tupi) - Bee that makes the round nest" (Tupi = indigenous language of Brazil)
Some Brazilian members already put picture of them, see for instance: Arapuã- click here
Actually she doesn't possess sting, as she has the body usually covered of resin (probably extracted of the tree pinus) she ends if coiling in the hair (mainly the long ones!) and when trying to liberate it ends up producing a buzzing and scaring and inconveniencing the people!!!
Your visit is important and comments also! Thank you.

The covered body for resin has the effect of reflecting the light of the flash and that causes undesirable shines.

Hi Jose,
An excellent macro shot. The exposure is spot on. The colors are superb, and detail is very sharp. A really superb shot!

José Reynaldo, mais uma foto muito bacana.

Excelente macro.

Gosto muito da nitidez e das cores. A composição está ótima.

O fundo evidencia o inseto.

Parabéns.

Excelente macro, Reynaldo,
aí vai mais uma do regionalismo. Conheço esta abelha com o nome de Arapuá e não Irapuã.
Elas têm uma predileção pelos cabelos.
Ainda bem que não picam.
Vou dizer de novo. Os detalhes da macro estão surpreendentes.
Parabéns,
Wagner.

interesting detail, I don't feel it is as tack sharp as it could be. Still great - points later

Olá,
a macro está absolutamente fantástica com umas boas cores e uns óptimos detalhes!
Boa nota!
Ana:)
