Some pretty clever & bold graphics on the awning at Bee's Confectionary in Hope, B.C. -- in operation for at least 60 years.
And speaking of (real) bees, check out my new gallery of some spectacular photos of bees by others on Flickr:

Trying to identify bees in a region where we have over 400 varieties is a little tricky. I think this might be bombus flavifrons - a yellow headed bumblebee native to the area.
There have been so many bees on the lavender plants! I can only manage to take a photo of one at a time though since they're always moving so fast.
If you like lavender and have room to plant some I highly recommend it. It's a beautiful plant and I love running my hands over the flowers and then inhaling the scent.

Years ago I planted a package of Texas Blue Bonnets and Russell Hybrids. They've reseeded and multiplied. The bees are going nuts over them! Of course with all the rain we've had they're waist high!
A bee in Rosa rugosa rose.
Rosa Rugosa rose or Japanese rose is included on the list of 100 of the worst invasive alien species in Europe.
The surface of the leaves is wrinkled, which gives the plant its Finnish name "kurtturuusu", “wrinkled rose”.

Observation.org identified her as a red mason bee. I don't know. Question b is if she tries to warn me, by lifting her middle leg, or if she is just very agile.
Last of the bees on the hebe shot, even though it's hard to resist trying to get a superior shot! Our two hebes are the biggest attraction in the garden right now, with as many as 4 bumblebees around them at a time. Hopefully something else will attract them once they finish flowering.

One of our hives swarmed and landed conveniently in our mulberry tree. Nice and easy to collect. A local man stopped by and asked if he could have them as he used to keep bees back in Lebanon. We were happy to find a home for this lot.
For such a cute, fluffy insect, bee-flies have a gruesome way of life. Bee-flies lay their eggs into solitary mining bees nests. The female coats her eggs in dust or sand so the eggs do not dry out and which adds that little extra weight so she can be more accurate at flicking her eggs in to the burrows. The Bee-flies larva feeds on the mining bees larva.
This Bee-fly seems to like the Aubretia plant to feed on.
