A honey bee worker collecting nectar and pollen from Japanese anemones in the garden. They've been absent from the garden for weeks, but these flowers have pleasingly tempted them back with up to half a dozen present at a time.
The western honey bee or European honey bee (Apis mellifera) is the most common of the 7–12 species of honey bees worldwide. The genus name Apis is Latin for "bee", and mellifera is the Latin for "honey-bearing", referring to the species' production of honey.
Caught this little gal while I waited on my daughter during her soccer practice. Hard to get them to cooperate. Always too busy to pose. ALMOST nailed the focus, but just a smidge out. PS Express and Digiscoped with Swarovski STX95, iPhone 13 Pro Max, and Phone Skope.
Honey Bees are one of the most recognisable insects and are the most commonly domesticated bee species in the world. They are somewhat variable in colour but are usually brown with a banded dull yellow and brown abdomen. The head, thorax and abdomen are densely covered in hair. The legs and around the eyes are also hairy. These highly social insects live in large hives dominated by a single queen. The queen is larger than workers or the male drones, and is responsible for egg laying and for controlling the hive using pheromones. The majority of the hive is made up of worker bees that build and maintain the hive, and collect nectar and pollen to feed the developing bee larvae.

Wonderfully whimsical depiction of a mouse's Christmas dream from Elizabeth of API-Pondida. Very cute.
An image of a dying (unfortunately) Apis mellifera worker bee found in November 2013. I've had all the time in the world to make a couple of stacks in that beautiful autumn morning.
