I was utterly charmed by this curious and amiable Trichocolletes bee. She was on the Hovea flowers and took time to regard me. After considering me for a time, she allowed me to get very close to take photos. I was very moved. They can be hard to get close to as they move so quickly, but she seemed quite content for the camera to be in among the flowers with her. I consider this one of my best ever shots of a native Australian bee. [Blue Mountains National Park, NSW]
