I love the little sweat bees! This is one of a vast variety of sweat bees that visit my garden. Little metallic green gems. I discovered that they do body posturing for certain things. For example, when I get too close with the camera they will scrunch down in the front and lift up their hind legs in a "this is my flower gesture." I think it is also a bit of a warning. I also found out that morning's are not good for them:D I am the same way about my coffee!
They need their nectar in the early morning and do not like to be disturbed at all. Late Morning, say about 11:00am is fine to take pictures. They have slowed down a bit and are more cooperative, less defensive about picture taking. This is one of those moments. Blessed bee!
Our hive swarmed (back in May 2012) and these are the bees clustered under a bush. Too bad we didn't try to catch them.

which I found nearly dead on a flower in the garden. I brought it indoors and gave it some honey, which, as you can see, it scoffed voraciously. I kept it under a glass whilst it was feeding and it soon began to look for a way of escape. I took it to the door under the glass and then released it. It 'buzzed off' very happily and I felt very pleased with myself.
TUTU (Coriaria arborea).
A plant that has attracted much attention because of its poisonous properties is tutu, a shrub growing, at most, to a height of about 20 ft. It occurs in shrubland and in open places in coastal and montane forest throughout New Zealand and the Chatham Islands. It often comes in profusely on cuttings running through damp forest. It is a straggling plant, much branched from the base and with four-angled branches. The leaves are opposite and on slender stems, the whole looking like a pinnate leaf. Each leaf is 1–3 in. long, about broad-ovate and acute. The small flowers are arranged in drooping racemes, 6 in. or more in length. The petals, later juicy and purplish-black, embrace the fruit.
The poisonous principle is a toxin, tutin, which occurs in all parts of the plant except the fleshy petals. Tutu has been responsible for the greatest percentage of stock poisoning by plants in New Zealand. Sheep and cattle are mostly affected. Occasionally poisoning of human beings by honey has been attributed to the honeydew from tutu which has been collected by bees. The genus Coriaria is the only one of the family Coriariaceae. There are about 30 species, mostly shrubs, found in southern Europe, eastern Asia, south and central America, and New Zealand where there are seven other species besides that of C. arborea. Most of these are small shrubs with small leaves. C. plumosa, for example, is a prostrate plant under a foot high with leaves a fraction of an inch long only.
