This Bee was busy
I have taken very few shots of Bees, but I do like and appreciate them. I was standing in a field by a pond waiting for birds to come in. The field was full of Yellow Hawkweed which attracted Goldfinches and many types of polinators.
When I posted this last evening, I did not know the species. Thanks to those who provided the ID,
Our passion flower is doing well this year, the dry conditions are obviously suiting it as it hasn’t been watered at all. The bees are enjoying it too.
HSS with a little help from Snapseed 😊
Kissed by the sun. I can hardly recall a time when we had such a splendid September in Austria. With almost 30 degrees, it still feels like summer. Took this picture during a stroll through the woods at the "Hohe Wand" nature reserve park in Lower Austria, trying to get to grips with my macro lens.
Certainly not the best Bee in flight photo ever taken but pretty good for me! LOL I love his pollen laden pantaloons. These Flowers are in the gardens of Chatham Manor. We were there very early in the morning and there was still a heavy dew on most of the flowers. Might explain the sleeping bee I found (see below). I thought it was a fake plastic thing stuck to the flowers of one bush but as I looked very close it slightly moved it's head.

Pretty hot for the last day of spring/first day of summer - it seems it will be a scorcher this summer.
Western honey bee (Apis mellifera) taking nectar (and pollen) from a new your aster (Symphyotrichum novi-belgii) flower.

Taken in Lichfield, Staffordshire.
Thank you to everyone who views, faves or comments on my photos, it is always appreciated.
I saw a great number of bumble bees pollinating flowers during the hike at the San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve yesterday. It is challenging to take a good image of bees with manual focus vintage lens, but I tried. :-)

Yes, I'm obsessed with these cute leafcutter bees that I discovered recently at St Cyrus Nature Reserve. I'm fairly sure this one is a male. He's so cute and fluffy, and I love his eyes.
I'm still hoping for a definite ID, if anyone can help. I know these are leafcutters (Megachile), but I'm not sure which species.
I'm still chasing that perfect macro (this isn't quite as sharp as I'd have liked, and I'm not straight-on to the bee, and a bit of burn-out on his legs.... a good excuse to go and try again though :D).
Colletes probably but I'm not sure of the sub-species as there are hundreds. Possibly Colletes daviesanus but in truth I'm guessing. What I do know is that they're a very small bee not much longer than 10-12mm.
On a summer morning in the gardens of Woodward Park, Tulsa. A bee butt for Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday - HBBBT!
Seen at Mottistone Gardens Isle of Wight
The UK has around 270 different bee species – 24 are bumblebees, one honey bee species, and the other 90% of UK bee species are solitary bees. Three are in this shot
It is thought that if bees disappeared from the planet, humankind would have less than four years to live. I don't know how true that is, but it is true that bees play vital part in the ecosystem that we rely on for food.
I think this is in subfamily Anthracinae of the Bombyliidae "bee fly" family. Possibly Anthrax sp.
I was pretty happy with this - never caught a fly in flight before.
I came upon this hydrangea today, and it was abuzz with pollinators. This honeybee seemed to be resting, and allowed me to get many shots.
