Jamie Hooper took our cover photo in his garden in Junction City, in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. He is a professional photographer, and his partner Judy Scher is a beekeeper and ABJ subscriber. She identified this bee as a cordovan and suggested he send it to us.
See Peter Borst’s article about cordovan bees in this issue. And thanks to Jamie and Judy for providing us with this wonderful representative photograph.
