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.
ReplyDeleteI sure do enjoy your buzzy portraits.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful!
ReplyDeletei love the busy pollinators. I spent some time taking blurry photos of bees, maybe I will try again later.
ReplyDeleteI have let my basil go to seed and the bees are loving the flowers. there are always a few around.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the two together. They aren't territorial like hummingbirds.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work.
ReplyDeleteWell,done!
ReplyDeleteKeeping occupied. You and the bees.
ReplyDeleteCapturing 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.
ReplyDeleteThese are great photos of the bees at work. I happen to be reading an Outlander book called Go Tell the Bees I Am gone. :-)
ReplyDeleteI was trying to rid the back lawn of Thistle. The bees attacked me, as there is an underground nest! I screamed like a girl!
