    I have noticed so many different types of bees this year...I think it is because the neighbor a road over takes care of them....and the best thing is that they have not been aggressive. Here I am poking my camera sometimes close at them and they don't even mind..of course I don't do this when my husband is outside because he is allergic to them if they sting him.. I think my favorite are the large black ones...maybe just because they photograph better..

    I enjoyed seeing your bee fotos. iI have taken quite a few over the course of the summer and fall.
    I have been doing alot of research on them the past few months and the more that I read, the more interesting I find them.
    Thanks for posting this interesting series of fotos.

    I have noticed the bees around also. My sedums must of had atleast 10 or more bees on them. Very pretty flowers. I like your red/white cosmo.

    Nice photos. :stew2: My favourite bee is the bumble bee because they look cuddly. :D But I also like the honey bees, although we don't get many of those around here.

    A neighbor walked over to tell me about a hive he had in his yard...one he didn't know about until he got stung quite a few times...it was underground. He has 3 little girls so I guess he really has to take care of that one..
