Sadly the Kodak emulsion seems very thin these days and my Canon EOS seems to like leaving drag marks from the tension roller. One reason why for now I will be retiring color film and sticking to B&W film, and moving my car shots over to an EOS 5D Classic.
Stingless bees (SB), sometimes called stingless honey bees or simply meliponines, are a large group of bees (from about 462 to 552 described species), comprising the tribe Meliponin (or subtribe Meliponina according to other authors).
They belong in the family Apidae (subfamily Apinae), and are closely related to common honey bees (HB, tribe Apini), orchid bees (tribe Euglossini), and bumblebees (tribe Bombini). These four bee tribes belong to the corbiculate bees monophyletic group. Meliponines have stingers, but they are highly reduced and cannot be used for defense, though these bees exhibit other defensive behaviors and mechanisms.
Meliponines are not the only type of bee incapable of stinging: all male bees and many female bees of several other families, such as Andrenidae and Megachilidae (tribe Dioxyini), also cannot sting.
The main honey producing bees of this group generally belong to the genera Scaptotrigona, Tetragonisca, Melipona and Austroplebeia, although there are other genera containing species that produce some usable honey. They are farmed in meliponiculture in the same way that European honey bees (genus Apis) are cultivated in apiculture.
The majority of native eusocial bees of Central and South America are SB, although only a few of them produce honey on a scale such that they are farmed by humans. The Neotropics, with approximately 426 species, boast the highest abundance and species richness, ranging from Cuba and Mexico in the north to Argentina in the south.
In EXPLORE at #268. Unexpected but simplicity can win sometimes.
A simple shot but I always enjoy it, whenever I come across it on my computer. Taken at the Royal Cornwall Show, earlier in the year.

Nigella, also known as 'devil-in-a-bush' or 'love in a mist'.
Nigella damascena has been grown in English cottage gardens since Elizabethan times.
For many years 'Miss Jekyll' was the only widely available variety, and it is still popular for its dependable masses of sky-blue flowers.
“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else.
Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower.
I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”
Georgia O'Keeffe quote (American Painter, 1887-1986)
A true blue or purple is not so common in the flower world and not easy to photograph well...
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

Today the snow squalls were so strong there wasn’t much we could see. It was a great day to stay cozy inside. Bert cleared the driveway a few times. I cannot do any shovelling this year, so I made fresh banana oat cookies to go with the coffee when he came back inside. I look forward to when everything settles down again and we can get out to look for some of these peaceful wintry landscapes like this one from 2 weeks ago. I really liked the minimalism in this scene with the wispy tendrils coming down from the clouds to frame the lone tree.
