For Looking Close...on Friday!'s #bee theme
i'd intended to use an archive shot for this theme, but at the last minute decided to treat myself to a morning at RHS Wisley. By far the most popular flowers with the bees were these lovely, dark salvias. I lost track of time watching them wiggle in and wiggle out again from multiple flowers.
As i'm often finding this wasn't quite the sharpest shot from the day, but i liked it because of his prominent tongue. i can almost hear her slurping (drinking noisely) away.
(Reviewing the theme before posting, i noticed that most of the gallery examples were non-real bees, but i'm pretty certain live bees are ok, too.)
