Look closely here.

from a puddle on a piece of glass I left on the patio. There were about 20 of them doing the same today. Better than taking it from a puddle on the ground I think.

I havent been very active on flickr recently due to being busy but I will catch up as best I can on contacts photos over next 24 hours.

Genus Triepeolus

Bee taken in my garden

Spring has finally arrived in western Pennsylvania as the bees are out seeking pollen and nectar from the freshly planted flowers in the garden.

The flowers were alive with insects. This bumble bee was just one of them.
