I was taking photos in the garden with my macro lens when this bee landed on an arm of our clothes line. The sun on the left created an interesting shadow on the arm of the clothes line.

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.

Resting in the garden, enjoying some Spring sunshine on it's BBB !! Have a good day flickr friends !! And a VERY Happy St Patrick's Day to all our Irish friends xxxx : o ))))

Hard working never stopping, what would we do without them.

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.

I found a bee today doing just what bees do best...beeing :)

He seemed quite happy!

**Check out the large size if you have a minute.

Was out for a walk and saw this bee on a flower so I grabbed the macro lens and took a quick picture.

This bee was just sitting there drinking his fill on top of this purple bloom. He gave me a great opportunity to sit on the ground, set my settings the way I wanted, and take a few photos.

I spent an enjoyable quarter of an hour watching this busy bee buzzing from bloom to bloom of the chives that are presently flowering in the garden. Taken hand-held with a Panasonic Lumix G9 camera coupled with a Lumix Leica 12-60mm lens.

Walking in the small local park netted this photo of a bee deep inside this blue wild flower, gathering pollen.

I took this shot in a rather dark woodland park but was happy to even get it as the bee never stayed long and the flowers were those tiny little wild ones.
