Bees were flying in and out of the Sunflower, conditions must have been just right. All I had to do was wait a little bit.
I've been bouncing around of late in regard to my photographic interests. Birds, sunsets, macro, landscapes, and more. Truth be told, I am in a bit of a creative lull at the moment. Decided to do some macro work today, and here is a bee buzzing around a clover flower. Not sure what that thing is on its leg, although my wife said it is honey? Best viewed (L) for full detail.
Thanks for all the faves, comments, and views. Much appreciated~!

I have another art show coming up ( it is that time of year!) Plus I have to take my gallery show down next weekend. So I will be scarce the next few weeks. I will do my best to pop in on all you wonderful friends I have here on flickr! You are all an inspiration to me and I so appreciate your creativity, kindness and support! Keep on clicking!
Bumblebees are generalist feeders, often the first bees active in late winter (February) and the last in fall (November). Since they are active for so many months, they must be able to forage on a wide range of plant species in a wide range of weather conditions to support a colony.
I reprocessed this image without watermarks, frames and/or painterly effects.

A collection of shots from this afternoon, of some of the resident carder bee colony that I have visiting the lavender in the garden. I'm making the most of photographing these hard-working bees while they are still active.
Some honey bees enjoying the nectar from a milkweed flower. As far as I can tell, the wild honey bees are doing as well as ever. I'm not sure what kind of milkweed this might be - it looks different from the common milkweed but I don't see a good match in the Kansas wildflower guidebook.

A bee orchid at Summer Leys, I stumbled across this by accident whilst taking photos of pyramidal orchids
I found a bee today doing just what bees do best...beeing :)
He seemed quite happy!
**Check out the large size if you have a minute.
This bee was just sitting there drinking his fill on top of this purple bloom. He gave me a great opportunity to sit on the ground, set my settings the way I wanted, and take a few photos.
