Large bee with Honey bee. Large bee is about 2” long

I saw tiny black and gold bees swarming around a dried up Late Boneset plant's leaves. No flowers remained anywhere on the plant, so they weren't there for pollen.

Found deceased

Pollinating peyote

Was only able to photograph this bee's. Wondering if any bee people out there can identify it by general location and the back of it's abdomen.

I had a great walk around Lake Arrowhead on the Dragonfly and Onion Creek trails.

Searching ground then nectared on stiff green thread flowers.

Sheltering in Calocortus catalina

Is this a “sleeping aggregation” of males? I found them in a prickly poppy flower
