I did warn you that there would likely be one more round of bee photos, and here we are.
This time, I was hoping to capture a bee in flight. I did capture several but very poorly and blurry. This is the best of several, and, as you can see, it's no great shakes.
Will I try one more time? There is a slight possibility, but the plant has been well worked, and I am not sure how much use it now is for the bees. I am pleased to know that the joe pye has provided so much nectar for quite along time.

It is remarkable to watch them at work.
I sure do enjoy your buzzy portraits.
I have to agree that these are really fun to see. It's important that we have native plants like Joe-Pye and these photos really show why!
These are wonderful!
i love the busy pollinators. I spent some time taking blurry photos of bees, maybe I will try again later.
I have let my basil go to seed and the bees are loving the flowers. there are always a few around.
I love seeing the two together. They aren't territorial like hummingbirds.
Very nice work.
Well,done!
Keeping occupied. You and the bees.
Capturing a 🐝 or any other flying insect in flight is not an easy task, so your patience and result is commendable. My attempts when we had a flower garden were always well intentioned, but not so productive as yours. In truth, I was always a bit concerned about possibly being stung by the subject matter.
These are great photos of the bees at work. I happen to be reading an Outlander book called Go Tell the Bees I Am gone. :-)
I was trying to rid the back lawn of Thistle. The bees attacked me, as there is an underground nest! I screamed like a girl!
