MANY THANKS FOR YOUR VISITS, COMMENTS AND FAVES
THEY ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
It's a Western Honey Bee, I believe. And this little creature was definitely doing its job; it was one of many bees that were moving rapidly from blossom to blossom in a patch of wild asters.
Happy Wing Wednesday
It was a gloomy, overcast day off that I had a few days ago... When in doubt, I wander with the macro lens on and see what happens haha.
From my archives: I always enjoy seeing bees at work and this one chose some lovely flowers to gather pollen from.
I appreciate your views and comments, thank you! Have a great day and week!

Macro shot using 11 mm extension tube. I was photographing flowers when this bee arrived. I had to get quite close with the extension tube so I was pleased I managed to get a well focused shot.
"The pedigree of honey does not concern the bee; A clover, any time, to him is aristocracy."
Emily Dickinson
When weeding in my flower garden, I used to see white clover flowers as weeds. However, white clovers are a great source of nectar and pollen for honey bees. The plant flowers from May to September, and its long blooming period attracts bees and other pollinators. White clover is also high in nectar sugar, so bees often visit it before other nectar sources.
As always, many thanks for taking the time to view, fave and comment. That's very much appreciated
Stay safe!
I'm looking forward to seeing bees and blooms this coming season, bring them on!
Thank you for your views and comments, much appreciated! Have a great day!

Hope you all are doing well. I took the first shot of vaccine yesterday - so far so good.
I will catch up with your photos soon.

Tiny flecks of pollen fall from a blossom as a female broad-tailed hummingbird does her thing.
I really miss seeing and hearing them!
