I think this is a type of Bee but I am not sure.

I can't believe how I still have flowers on my butterfly bushes after the morning frosts we've had. There are still a few bees hanging around. They move slow because of the cold, so it's a perfect opportunity to practice my macro shots.

Have a wonderful day Flickr friends. Tina and the Puglets xo

I would like to thank all of you that have taken the time to view and comment on my photos, it is very much appreciated. Constructive criticism and tips on how to improve my novice photography skills are always welcomed.

The Monardas (Bee balms) at the park were losing their petals and dying; this one was the better one.

Thank you very much for the kind comments and faves, much appreciated!🙋‍♀️

Thank you for your visit !

Using a close-focus wide-angle lens, I was nearly touching the bee when I snagged this frame. Luckily, it was one of the big docile bumble bees who was happy to let me spy on them.

The fish-eye lens makes it feel like we were standing back from the flower, but if this were a normal lens, it would be obvious this is a macro shot.

Caught in a sudden heavy rain storm, these bee's will grip on to flower or leaf with their powerful jaws till long after the danger has past!

I think I got that the right way round! Anyway a Bee that pretends to be a wasp.

Bee photos, these are becoming increasingly hard to get, especially here in Essex. Many of the gardens I visit have had a real decrease in numbers. On my walks into the countryside Buddleja, Thistle and other wild flowers there is hardly anything. Is there a cure?

Queen Anne's Lace blossoms such as this one are compound flowers made up of many tiny white flowers arranged in a flat-topped cluster. The nectar is located at the base of the tiny flowers, which is ideal for pollinators with short proboscises like the honey bee you see here.
