Another photo from the meadow, when we had such a lovely summer. Hours of fun spent crawling around on hands and knees, capturing bees going about their business!

The Monardas (Bee balms) at the park were losing their petals and dying; this one was the better one.

Thank you very much for the kind comments and faves, much appreciated!🙋‍♀️

Bee photos, these are becoming increasingly hard to get, especially here in Essex. Many of the gardens I visit have had a real decrease in numbers. On my walks into the countryside Buddleja, Thistle and other wild flowers there is hardly anything. Is there a cure?

Wishing all a fine weekend ahead.

These are bees?

They are so busy ❤

"Wenn die Biene von der Erde verschwindet, dann hat der Mensch nur noch vier Jahre zu leben" – Schon Albert Einstein wusste um die Wichtigkeit der fleißigen Insekten.

"If the bee from the Earth disappears, then human has only four years to live" - even Albert Einstein knew the importance of the hard-working insects.

Queen Anne's Lace blossoms such as this one are compound flowers made up of many tiny white flowers arranged in a flat-topped cluster. The nectar is located at the base of the tiny flowers, which is ideal for pollinators with short proboscises like the honey bee you see here.

Happy Wing Wednesday

A bee can never resist a flower in bloom.

Searching for nectar in a small world all of its own. Have a good week and I shall be back to normal tomorrow :)
