Great shots. That bee looks all pumped up, wouldn't want to see him mad.

Holy cow! That bee is huge! Nice photos Michelle. Love how colorful the flowers are, and great shot of the moon. Nice work.

Looks like that bee has his head down and is charging right for you! Good job!

Me neither! He was quite intimidating to look and at to hear, he was loud! I am sure he could inflict some pain! Thanks Mom!

Hi Fred , yeah he looks quite obese. I think our bees are getting too fat also. He has to be the roundest bee I have ever seen. Haha! Thank you for the kind words!

Yeah, I didn't stick around too long after this as I was wearing an orange shirt and did not want to be mistaken for for one of those flowers. He was always moving hard to get a clear shot of a moving target. He never once settled in on a flower. Busy bee for sure. Thank you!

The pollen's about gone, so they should be good and fat by now......their food supply is now just about all in storage. I hope to catch some more bees soon but they are getting harder to come by. Great captures
