⭐️Thank you in Advance for your kind ‘Faves’ Visits and Comments they are so very much appreciated. 👍
I cannot always ‘Thank’ everyone individually, for their Visits and ‘Faves’ however, I will always try to respond and thank all those that leave a ‘Comment’. If I do not reply to your 'Comment', it is not because I am ignoring you, it's because I have not seen the 'Comment'.
Your 'Comments' do not always appear in 'Notifications' or Flickr mail, so, I am sorry for any delay in responding. Often your 'Comment' is only spotted 'On the Page' on the day, that I see it. (seen ONLY when replying to someone HAS 'Commented' on the image, and I see a notification)
Certainly not the best Bee in flight photo ever taken but pretty good for me! LOL I love his pollen laden pantaloons. These Flowers are in the gardens of Chatham Manor. We were there very early in the morning and there was still a heavy dew on most of the flowers. Might explain the sleeping bee I found (see below). I thought it was a fake plastic thing stuck to the flowers of one bush but as I looked very close it slightly moved it's head.
Pretty hot for the last day of spring/first day of summer - it seems it will be a scorcher this summer.
Yes, I'm obsessed with these cute leafcutter bees that I discovered recently at St Cyrus Nature Reserve. I'm fairly sure this one is a male. He's so cute and fluffy, and I love his eyes.
I'm still hoping for a definite ID, if anyone can help. I know these are leafcutters (Megachile), but I'm not sure which species.
I'm still chasing that perfect macro (this isn't quite as sharp as I'd have liked, and I'm not straight-on to the bee, and a bit of burn-out on his legs.... a good excuse to go and try again though :D).

Long-horned bee was as close as I could get to an ID on this one. This is another insect foraging in the yellow rabbitbrush. All of these images were captured in an hour in three patches of brush bordering 20 yards of a dirt track. I picked a bush that came up to the window of my truck, waited and shot away.

The UK has around 270 different bee species – 24 are bumblebees, one honey bee species, and the other 90% of UK bee species are solitary bees. Three are in this shot
It is thought that if bees disappeared from the planet, humankind would have less than four years to live. I don't know how true that is, but it is true that bees play vital part in the ecosystem that we rely on for food.
I think this is in subfamily Anthracinae of the Bombyliidae "bee fly" family. Possibly Anthrax sp.
I was pretty happy with this - never caught a fly in flight before.
