Soft Bee - _TNY_0361

When shooting bees in a garden, you soon notice that some flowers are ore popular than others.

 

This pink beauty is a great masterwort (Astrantia major), a species which appears to be mighty popular with the bees.

 

With them occupiedon the search for pollen and nectar, it certainly is easier to get close.

 

The bee on this one is one of the mining bees (Andrena sp.), but the angle doesn't make it possible to tell which of the species it is. Looks mighty soft though, doesn't it?
