I haven't posted a bee shot for a few days, so here it is lol. I took this in my FIL's garden when we called in on the way home from Forster, so it is technically part of my little holiday. #349 on Explore 27th February, 2008.

…Can’t you see I’m buzzy! 🐝

 

Photo taken at Grosmont train station in Yorkshire. We were waiting for the steam train which was delayed, so I whipped out my camera to do some macro of the beautiful flowers on the platform. This little guy wasn’t happy with me interrupting him at work 😅

A Bee searching for nectar in our garden flowers.

Following `Banadrama' (www.flickr.com/photos/pogspix/28949881111/), our garden has been literally buzzing with wasps, and they were taking every opportunity to get into the kitchen to buzz in the fruit bowl!

In an attempt to encourage them to stay outside, we've placed a bird feeder with raisins on a wall further away from the house, and have been `supplementing' that with drops of honey on the wall.

I'm not sure whether the plan has worked, or whether I've just attracted more wasps than we would have seen otherwise; we're seeing up to 30 feeding at once on the wall.

Yesterday morning, I noticed the wall being lit by the morning sun, with bokeh from the feeder behind it, so I dashed out with the honey, and placed a blob so I could catch the wasps in some pretty light.

Apollo 11 landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, ten days before my sixth birthday. It was a big deal, and hit me at a very impressionable age, ensuring a lifelong interest in space. This famous shot of Buzz Aldrin on the surface of the moon was taken by Neil Armstrong, the only other person on the moon at the time.

A Bumble Bee flies to its next feed of nectar on Viper's bugloss.

 

There were many Bumble Bees feeding all day long in the flowers. Unfortunately I couldn't identify the species of Bumble Bee but I loved watching and tried MANY times to capture an image of them in flight.

 

The real challenge was that they took off by flying backwards and up so most shots were out of focus. I also couldn't predict where they might land. I am quite pleased with this shot though.

Buzzing off for a bit. I'll catch up with everyone when I return.
