If you were a bee and happened across this purdy flower, you'd be busy too! Nice bee shot...

my favorite bee shots
Love the picture of the bee with the pollen. He probably got employee of the month in the hive.

A single bee ducking inside a flower.
A lucky double.

But this flower did attract a bee.... last summer..
Neat shot, but this one is not a bee. It is a variety of fly that mimics the looks of a bee. It enhances his ability to survive. I once saw a film where they offered a real bee to a toad. He took it and got stung. They then offered him one of these flies, which was harmless. He wouldn't touch it. So I guess the camouflage works, eh?

huh... A couple of my grandchildren did well in a recent spelling bee. I was just thinking of taking this shot and adding text to the pic to make a "spelling bee." :-D
