Default Honesuckle and bees
The bees were enjoying the honeysuckle. I was playing with my 50mm. Hummm... a little too close for me so I only took a couple of shots and let the bee enjoy the honeysuckle and the warm morning sun.

Yes Jim, I cropped them!

Beee-ware!

Thanks Patrick. It is a Cape Honeysuckle and they are all over Tucson. They seem to thrive here in the desert. Altho, I am guilty of overwatering it so it blooms more!

Thank you MR MAYOR of Cropodopolis!

I love the orange and green combo too. I think I may have this one a little over exposed tho as it seems so bright. I didn't want to spend too much time hanging around the bees so I just did a quick snap.
