Investigating lily pollen. There iis masses of it.

I finally figured how to upload my new camera yay!

A quick wander out with the macro lens during a brighter warmer hour. Quite a few bee's around and this one looked fully loaded with pollen. Probably my best bee in flight shot to date.

Another macro of the anthers from a Stargazer Lily.

I feel this is a better composition than my previous postings. If you view it large there is tremendous detail of the middle anther.

I'm not good with titles, but this composition reminded me of a firework explosion!

The lilies were a recent present from my son to my wife.

Not sure what the plant was but the bees sure liked it!

Orange Rump, Bumble Bee.

Bee with pollen on it’s leg collecting more from a grape hyacinth flower.

Up close look at a black eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta)

Just a bee in a deep red hollyhock, in a public park.

Winters, Ca. May, 2022.

Le xylocope (Xylocopa violacea) est un insecte ailé et dodu faisant partie de la très vaste famille des Hyménoptères. Il s'agit en fait d'une très grosse abeille, au corps poilu et massif pouvant mesurer 30 mm de longueur pour une envergure de 55 mm. Une fort belle bête donc, reconnaissable à son vol bruyant ressemblant à un gros bourdonnement et à sa couleur noire bleutée. Le Xylocope sort par temps chaud pour butiner le pollen des fleurs à l'aide de sa robuste "trompe". Cette dernière est surmontée de mandibules puissantes lui permettant de creuser le bois pour y faire son nid. Ce bel Hyménoptère présente 4 ailes membraneuses translucides teintées de violacé.

Malgré son aspect un peu impressionnant, cet insecte ne représente aucun danger pour l'homme et s'attaque seulement aux bois extérieurs s'ils sont déjà bien abîmés et donc tendres.

Yup, taken today, August 1, using a Nikon D7100, and an old technology Nikkor macro lens that hasn't been upgraded in a decade or so. Still work pretty well.

Pollen lovers look at this in original size:

Un cardo appena sbocciato offre un gustoso nutrimento agli insetti impollinatori.

Sono felice di vederne ancora, anche qui in città

Buona domenica

Originally taken in colour, I captured this pollen laden bee as it entered the bell on this white bluebell flower.

A bee was busy gathering pollen inside the this lovely pink Rhododendron flower.

This guy has so much pollen I think he will need to be carried home.

Photinia Red Robin

I was amazed at the pollen coverage the bees were getting from the dandelions in the yard. This bee shows that pretty well as it works this dandelion.

Taken 7 June 2023 near Wasilla, Alaska

We were at Mimmo, watching floating flower seeds, I was only able to capture one of those properly but luckily it was in the correct place at the time lol

Location

Mimmo, Pomerania Park (198, 180, 24)

The bees are out on the blooming flowers in my neighborhood of Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California. Taken with my iPhone 14 Pro Max set to Raw and Macro.

I shot this pollen-covered Carpenter Bee as it was flying around in a Rose of Sharon bush.

I love this photo of the beautiful sunflower, not only for the bloom, but also the bee on the flower head and the one ( out of focus, unfortunately) on approach, dropping bits of pollen as it flies. Zoom to see this more clearly. Certainly not a detail I saw as I snapped this pic......
