I searched for an intelligent, mind-expanding quote about bees and found mostly quotes about the Bee Gees and bee's knees. Do you see any knees on this bee?
The off-camera strobe my husband used to photograph this bee did not seem to disturb it after some 20 photos. This bee and others continued to gather pollen as we left. Good stuff, that pollen!
Cooler, windy, and overcast here today. A temporary respite.
A bright purple swath of Bee Balm (Monarda fistulosa) comes into its own in the foothills of the Southern Rockies near Boulder, Colorado. The common name is particularly apt for this plant, as Bumblebees and other wild bees are constantly attending to its pollinating needs. Bee Balm makes similar terpene compounds in its leaves as Thyme plants of the Old World, and chemical analysis of their tissues has revealed that populations of Bee Balm often have distinct terpene signatures. However, it is not at all clear to me just how those terpene signatures influence the relationship between bees and plants.
Technical notes: This is a focus stack of four images, taken hand-held.
Thanks for stopping by to visit!
Winter has returned with everything here in PA. Many people were saying that winter was over, but not just yet...The temperatures dropped to the 20's again, and it has been snowing on and off since Monday, and it feels just right, it is only march.
Yes, flowers are always welcomed during the winter months, and here is one I took last year of a very busy bee. To take photos of bugs It was a challenge for me when I started photography some years back, but slowly and preparing myself for it became a favorite for mine. With the help of our macro lens we see their amazing work and activities, and they are amazing! Have you seen the smile of a dragonfly? I'm not kidding, it is awesome :)

Photography is my passion, and nature photography is my favorite.
I have been in Explore for more that a hundred times, and it is an awesome experience to have your photos showcased in such a special way.
I'm in many groups, and I only add my photos to them if they are not private.
I thank your for coming today, for leaving a comment, and make a favorite of yours this photo, (if that is the case) thanks again!
The best part of this forum is the contacts and friends that I have made over the years, that have the same passion for this art that is called photography!

I found this large Bumble bee crawling on our driveway, I think she's a Buff-tailed Bumble bee? I'm never afraid that these bees will sting, it's always a last resort defense. They seem to realise when we're attempting to help them. One of her legs looks twisted in the photo but I put her on the Senetti flowers behind & there was no sign of her a few minutes later so I hope she flew safely away HWW & HBW

I was trying to get close shots of the middle of this flower against the sky when this bee rudely intruded...
Bee-Eaters, East Leake - I believe are showing very well. They reminded me of some I saw in Spain a few years ago. Here are my Spanish birds!
Can't afford a female model but this bee was kind enough to pose for me and I took my best set of Bee shots to date , it was the first time I used so many from a single shoot . I will add a few more later . Hope you like them too . Save the Bee's!
This little bee was a bit damp from the rain, it spent a few minutes crawling over the grass, almost falling off a few times.
When the rain started up again I felt sorry for it and moved it to a sheltered spot, hopefully it managed to dry off.

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams. - Ashley Smith
Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜
Those big eyes, that great smile...means Spring is here and there will be a lot of flowers to enjoy!
It's been a while since I played with my macro lens. Not exactly sure what type of hornet/bee this is... if you know, please leave a comment. Thanks for looking!
