Two bees on a flower but I admit that the title is misleading. As far as I know these bees belong to different species and what you see here is rather a mean attack than big love.
It was lovely to see this native bee feeding on the Conospermum flowers north of Badgingarra this week.
Notice the pink pollen on her leg.

male ashy mining bee (Andrena cineraria)
I thought this was a male ashy mining bee (Andrena cineraria) on cotoneaster at least i got the male bit right. It is Osmia bicornis male
Quite a few about in the garden...they look quite cute but...apparently they're 'parasitoids of solitary bees and wasps'!

A collection of shots from this afternoon, of some of the resident carder bee colony that I have visiting the lavender in the garden. I'm making the most of photographing these hard-working bees while they are still active.

I've been bouncing around of late in regard to my photographic interests. Birds, sunsets, macro, landscapes, and more. Truth be told, I am in a bit of a creative lull at the moment. Decided to do some macro work today, and here is a bee buzzing around a clover flower. Not sure what that thing is on its leg, although my wife said it is honey? Best viewed (L) for full detail.
Thanks for all the faves, comments, and views. Much appreciated~!
First bee macro of 2016, from today, May 16.
Not many blossoms from which to choose yet, except for massive numbers of daisies. And not many bees either. This one found a different flower while I was nearby.
I thought about calling this a BIF shot, but figured it would draw too many soon-to-be-disappointed birders. Anyway, just happy to catch it in focus.
Some honey bees enjoying the nectar from a milkweed flower. As far as I can tell, the wild honey bees are doing as well as ever. I'm not sure what kind of milkweed this might be - it looks different from the common milkweed but I don't see a good match in the Kansas wildflower guidebook.
