This one's a crop to a portrait aspect from a landscape aspect pic with was then resized to the Flickr large size.
I particularly wanted to highlight the perfect marriage between plant and bee shape to maximise pollen transfer while the bee jockeys into position to feed.
I also could not resist RAW editing yet another shot of this fabulous bee to clearly illustrate the fascinating structures on the bee's legs.
The former Sutton Manor Colliery, there are two shafts here used for mining, the entrances have been sealed by a massive concrete slab seen here. The only evidence of the mining work that occurred here.

Andrena (Melandrena) transnigra Viereck, 1904
This is a mining bee (Family Andrenidae) we observed on the shore of Whistle Lake. There was an aggreagation of individual burrows and the bees were busy going in and out. This particular species, Andrena (Melandrena) transnigra, occurs in western United States and Canada and was identified for me at BugGuide by John S. Ascher (American Museum of Natural History Bee Database Project).
Characteristics of the mining bees (Andrenidae) are: Small size, 20 mm, (or smaller) brown to black in color, and nesting in a burrow in areas of sparse vegetation, old meadows, dry road beds, sandy paths. Although the nests are built near one another, the bees are solitary (each female capable of constructing a nest and reproducing). Many species are active in March and April when they collect pollen and nectar from early spring blooming flowers. The female bee digs a hole 2-3 inches deep excavating the soil and leaving a pile on the surface. She then digs a side tunnel that ends in a chamber (there are about 8 chambers per burrow). Each chamber is then filled with a small ball of pollen and nectar. An egg is laid on the top of each pollen ball and the female seals each brood chamber. The emerging larval bees feed on the pollen/nectar ball until they pupate (BugGuide)
Worldwide there are approximately 3000 species of mining bee (Family Andrenidae).

The Barony A Frame Trust was set up in 1997 as a community led charitable Trust specifically to save and restore the iconic A Frame at the former Barony Colliery in Auchinleck, East Ayrshire.
Following the decision by Scottish Coal to close the pit, all of the mine buildings were demolished leaving the A Frame structure isolated in a derelict landscape. However, no one had banked on the depth of feeling for the former Barony Colliery and its unique A Frame. The community rallied around the mission to save the A Frame from demolition. and create a meaningful and sustainable monument to mining and mining communities.
The structure was in need of a major face-lift so, with assistance from East Ayrshire Council, the Trust set about raising £1.3m to carry out the work. Fundraising took far longer than was initially anticipated but by 2007 the remedial work to the A Frame was complete along with major landscaping and improvement works to the surrounding site. The end result is a sustainable, meaningful monument to the mining industry and the communities who worked in it.
The Museum is run by a group of volunteers in a microgranite quarry at Threlkeld, with a Geology Room, Bookshop, Underground Experience, Gold Panning, Excavator Display, Engine House and Steam Engine, all there to enjoy together with the Quarry and the views. Also on offer are mine tours and mineral panning.
The quarry itself is a RIGS site and displays contacts between the “Skiddaw Slate” and the granite intrusion, as well as other fascinating features.
Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum have their own narrow gauge railway and “Sir Tom”, a steam locomotive, hauls passengers daily in the summer holidays and on other weekends. In quiet periods one of the collection of vintage classic diesel locos is used.
