Just had to load this on Flickr. This bee is easily double the size of any other bee i've seen.The bee's are loving our Lavenders at the moment which is great news....
Bee which got stuck in my conservatory this morning. Got a few shots with a close up filter of which this one was the best.
There has been a distinct lack of insects around this year so I was delighted to see this character feeding on one of my wallflowers.
Thought it was worth a few shots .
Our yellow daisy plant is providing platforms for insects to rest and feed.

Found a bumble bee looking a bit tired lying in the sun - so I gave it a drop of local honey.
Seemed to do the job :)
Couldn't get as close as I would've liked as I was scared the bee would sting me...and/or possibly kill me.
Just going through some old photos and came across this one, which I obviously missed. Just love the colours!

I was taking some close ups of the wifes Dahlias before winter and this Bee landed so I just shot a few to take advantage.
