Eu encontrei muitas Dálias e abelhas no maravilhoso jardim do Hotel-Palace do Buçaco, Portugal... Então, eu postarei uma série delas!
Have a nice week!
Tenham uma ótima semana!
Miner bee on my finger. Think it's a male Andrena sp. Focus stacked using zerene stacker.. Having spotted my finger, it walked on and had a warm up
Never saw a Bees proboscis before with my own eyes, This one kept still for a split second so i could capture this. As shiney as Excalibur!
If we look after the bees the bees will look after us!
Was very lucky in capturing this due to the short amount of time the bee was landing on to the flowers.
I really thought this was a honey bee; it was exactly the same size and behaved the same, visiting the same flowers and flying/feeding in the same way. Matthew (below) has put me straight - it's a drone fly. I should have spotted that the eyes were different. I'd never heard of drone flies before.
Spring time, Bees, Macro, close up, Nikon, D750, 105mm Macro lens, sunshine, garden, insects, lavender, purple
look at the legs :-)
also try it large
cheers :-)

Amegilla bombiformis, commonly known as the teddy bear bee or golden haired mortar bee, is an Australian native bee in the family Apidae.
It was originally described by F. Smith in 1854 as Saropoda bombiformis from a collection near the Richmond River in New South Wales,[1] before being reclassified in the genus Amegilla in 1965.[2] Its specific epithet bombiformis is Latin for "form of a bumblebee".
Amegilla bombiformis is a stocky bee which resembles a bumblebee in shape, and is covered in orange-brown fur. The abdomen has several dark hairless bands, seven in the case of males, six for females. It is similar in size to a European honeybee.[3]
Teddy bear bees have been recorded visiting Abelia, Buddleja, and blue flax lily (Dianella caerulea) flowers in the garden; males rest overnight attached to plant stems. From Wikipedia, IG

Teddy bear bees have been recorded visiting Abelia, Buddleja, and blue flax lily (Dianella caerulea) flowers in the garden; males rest overnight attached to plant stems. They are found in eastern Australia, from Queensland through New South Wales and into Victoria,[3] and as well as New Guinea and the Aru Islands to the north.[4]
The nest consists of several urn-shaped cells at the end of a 10 cm (4 in) long burrow, located in soil or earth, such as a creek bank in natural areas, or rubble in gardens, with some overhanging shelter. The cells themselves are 2 cm (0.8 in) long and lined with a waterproof material. The teddy bear bee adds an egg to each with a food supply of pollen and nectar paste.[3] Nesting individuals of species are stalked by the domino cuckoo bee (Thyreus lugubris), which hovers silently and observes before entering unattended burrows and laying its own egg, the grub of which consumes the supplies meant for the teddy bear bee larvae.,[3] and as well as New Guinea and the Aru Islands to the north.[4]
