Placed on neighbor's hummingbird feeder before first flight, morning of 04/02.

Hi Douglass :-) I like the ethereal, translucence of this shot, very nice...Do you actually breed these, if so I find that so pleasing. I think we will all be breeding Bees over here soon if things dont change, they are dying out at an alarming rate :-( tfp :-)
