Striped Sweat Bee On Floating Primrose-willow

This one was larger then the tiny green sweat bee I'd seen earlier. And it has stripes on the abdomen. What is it with sweat bees and yellow flowers? I'd previously seen them on large sunflowers. This one is a female. The males have yellow and black abdomens.
