That is like a can can show..beestyle

Found this one having a great time by the dwarf agapanthus:

Bees along the Mississippi River

Ohhhhhhhhh niiiiiice.

I love pictures of bumble bees.

Here's a picture of a bee enjoying a zinnia. The small picture doesn't do justice to the full size image.

OH WOW! Every detail is SO clear. Kudos tabby!

Thanks!
I just cropped this one, which is in a sempervivum flower.

That is incredible! You sure are having fun with that camera of yours aren't you?

I'm having lots of fun with this old camera.
Here's the last one for today:

Well I sure am enjoying your having fun.

Another winner there tabby!

black and white - on an aster blooming a month to 6 weeks before normal...

Nice!

I agree really nice.

This bee is really small. Check out the sunflowers' detail... Nice 'symmetrics'

Nice detail shot all the way around. I know, I am so often mesmerized by how precise the detailing is in flowers & Lord knows I've seen it hundreds of thousands of times but it still holds wonder for me. I can stare at the detailed markings on Gazania blooms for hours & the amazement is always the same.

I can certainly relate to to your observation.

Another bee

That last one is cool. I don't recognize that one.

Here are four different bees on one sunflower, all getting along. One honey bee, one Augochlorella (green), one Melissodes (honeybee sized), and one Pseudopanurgus (small bee with pollen laden legs).

Quite the diverse community in your sunflower!
