Eucerine Bee - a photo on Flickriver

Eucerine Bee

            This appears to be a eucerine bee;  tribe Eucerini, subfamily Apinae, family Apidae.  Judging by the unusually long antennae (from which the tribe gets its name), this would be a male.  Found in a garden in Burleigh County, North Dakota, on an early August evening.  It appeared to be sleeping on the end of a plant with another of its kind that flew away eventually.

If anyone can confirm this bee's identity, and/or identify a genus or species, that would be greatly appreciated.
