Busy As A .....!


This bee was certainly living up to its reputation as it went from flower to flower gathering nectar. It has been hot here the last week and for the first time ever I have seen bees going to the birdbath for a drink of water. It surprised me but it makes sense.

Busy as a bee at a flower farm.

Hello,

Love seeing bees at work. They are so important to the natural world, and the pesticides that poison them should be banned.

You got a great shot of one of nature's little workers. I see bees hovering around fountains and water spouts quite often but it makes sense here water is at a premium.

What a good photo of him. I watched one on our petunias this morning but didn't try to get a photo.

We'd be in a fine mess without the bees doing the work of pollination for us.

Bees do important work. Nice photo!

We have wasps visiting our birdbath constantly. Bumblebees only rarely.

Oh? I never saw a bee drinking water - interesting.
Great shot.
These fellas gave me a lot of balcony-strawberries this year, I thank them big!

It's been so hot in many places. The bees have been at all my flowers. I so enjoy them.
