    Another bee lover here...they are so neat to watch buzzing from flower to flower. We need them in the gardens even though some types can be quite pesty...

    Just look at it, hard at work on that bloom. :D I really like bumble bees, they're my favourite stinging, flying thingy.

    Your photographs are great Sherry. I think we gardeners really relate to all the good bees do for us and that's why we love having them around so much.

    What nice fotos, Sherry. The bee AND the flower. It's a winning combination. I like to see and watch bees at work like that. It's so absolutely fascinating.
