The little bees were flying in a large swarm around the Isopogon sp flowers to collect pollen. Notice the pollen presenters are different colours. The yellow ones have pollen, the orange none! It helps the bees to choose where to get their food.
In one of the photos you can see 5 bees flying, 7 in another.
Most likely Isopogon crithmifolius

Streets of Hong Kong are covered with piles of cardboard in the morning. Men like this go around with push carts collecting hordes of the brown rubbish into giant stacks. Maybe they are building a palace of pulp?
I really found this sky to be interesting, with the whispy white clouds below the high altitude clouds collecting most of the rising sun's rays. The airplane is certainly not the focus, only an accessory in the overall shot.
In reality, the narrow band of cirrus clouds actually appeared white against the blue and gold background, but the camera captured them as gold, too.
So you're walking around on this beautiful beach, and you see a beautiful pebble. You pick it up, and take it home as a little memento of that nice evening stroll.
But if the nice pebble actually weights more than you, then the only solution is digital rock-collection :) ... aka "take a picture of it" :) And here's one that I liked a a lot.
Walking in the small local park netted this photo of a bee deep inside this blue wild flower, gathering pollen.
I took this shot in a rather dark woodland park but was happy to even get it as the bee never stayed long and the flowers were those tiny little wild ones.
This image shows Glasgow's weather in characteristic form to complete my west coast photo essay. As with the first of these images ( flic.kr/p/2qBbvJc ), this shot captures the essence of this station for me: in Glasgow’s case, busy, populated with exotic trains (from the perspective of a Sassenach), and raining!
The date is Wednesday, 28th March 1984 and an APT set waits to head south on what is likely to be the 0900 relief to Euston. The crowd of gentlemen striding towards the ticket barriers, many of who are lacking in appropriate outdoor attire, are presumably not railway enthusiasts given their lack of interest in the future of travel nor the distinctly Scottish class 27 to the left of the frame.
Unlike London Euston, Glasgow Central still has the grandeur and heritage of the Victorian era. While Euston’s period pieces were swept away in the white heat of 1960s progress, Glasgow Central has been sympathetically restored and, despite the rain, feels like a hospitable station appropriate for a great city.
Glasgow Central was not the original station for the west coast route in the city. The Caledonian Railway originally used the Townhead terminus, 1.5 miles to the northeast, then in November 1849, the new station of Buchanan Street was used. Growth led to the opening of Glasgow Central in 1879, immediately north of the river Clyde that the railway follows for the last 45 miles of its journey from London.
I trust that those that have followed my photo essay have enjoyed the ride. The west coast route is so varied and so long that it has been very easy to find disparate images from my collection. Selecting images for this essay has been challenging: I have been shooting trains on the route since the 1980s, and in the 21st century I still manage perhaps 30-40 images of the line every year. Furthermore, since I started collecting other photographer's images, it seems that the line was popular for others too!

This morning I found Cotton in Daan's room, she wondered what all the 'cute thingies' on this shelf were... so we had a little conversation.
Cotton: "You've got to be kidding me Bien! Are you saying that the girls and I are collectibles too?"
