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

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!🙋‍♀️

Bumble Bee,doing what it has to do to get the Pollen.

It is the smallest African bee-eater. Bee-eaters predominantly eat insects, especially bees, wasps and hornets, which are caught in the air by sorties from an open perch. Before eating its meal, a bee-eater removes the sting by repeatedly hitting the insect on a hard surface.

This is another of at least three varieties of Bumble bees on the flowers in the area.

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?

The Rhododendrons are currently keeping the bees very busy. There's more blossoms this year than I've ever seen.
