This bee was right in the thick of it, gathering pollen as he gave a nod in my direction. I used to be wary of bees and still have a great deal of respect for them, but I’ve learned that if left undisturbed they are not generally aggressive and just want to get on with the work at hand.

Thank you. Now that I know they’re more interested in their work than in me I feel the same way😊

Look at this old gal with tattered wings. She’s logged some miles, now immortalized by your lens. Love the contrast of the red-tipped orange prongs.

Sweet shot, Belinda! 🙂 I used to keep bees! Believe me, when they are on flowers, you don’t have a thing to worry about. They are then in Candy-Land and are super happy!
