Honey bee visiting flowers of a container-grown Aloe plant. The bees disappear completely inside the flower and seem to be a perfect fit.

My local library garden is a perfect place for photography with my current limited mobility.
Rose garden is in bloom and the Salvia is a paradise for bees.

This Texas sized Black Bee was drinking water from the edge of our water fountain in the front yard, I got as close as I could without disturbing it. Took a few shots and backed off. The details on this images are very detailed to say the least. Especially the Eye's.!!!!!!!

A closer view of a previous upload, of an adorable male leafcutter bee, probably Megachile centuncularis (patchwork leafcutter bee), feeding on the pollen of a calendula flower in my garden last summer. I often saw these males (and female Megachile centuncularis, which are far easier to ID) at these stunning flowers.

The bee hives (centre) are well situated for their residents with the flower meadow in front of them. A Wiltshire landscape view not far from Bratton in the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
From the morning I chased the Monarch flitting through my yard, with particular interest on the Milkweed, of course. They're blooming now, in the dead of winter. Beats me. I'm not sure about the little brown specs - today I realized there are actually seed pods opening, full of silk and seed, and I did note the bees occasionally looking like they were stuck. I thought a spider web, but couldn't see any. Now I'm completely guessing it's the silk from the seed pod and maybe some seeds there on its legs. I could be totally wrong. Check it large...
Did I mention I'm SO glad I added a macro to my camera bag last Spring when that pandemic thing hit and all my nature hangouts closed. Little did I know I'd still be laying low, ten months later. Stay safe out there.
This is another oldie I have let loose the sliders as it happens to bee one of my favourites.
Whether you have a small patio, a large garden, or a window box, growing flowering plants is an effective way to help bees and other pollinating insects.
Pollinating insects need food, water and shelter. They love plants which are rich in nectar and pollen. Nectar contains sugar for energy, while pollen contains protein and oils β forming a balanced diet.
