Bee, Actual Bee, on Mountain Laurel

Polleny goodness.

Bee on Garlic Chives

On the Patio

Sitting out here with Lo, I just saw a bee pick up & carry away a small bit of hardboiled egg yolk that had fallen to the ground a few minutes before. How odd!

Clean Bee II

Clean Bee

I found this bee floating in my milky coffee on the patio today. I got it out, then dipped it in my water, thinking it might help. Then I put it down on the chaise cushion and watched it clean and dry itself.









It finished up and flew away right after I took the photo below.

Bee on Rosemary

Tennessee Bee

Delay in posting due to overlong (but good) business trip to Michigan. I am SO glad to be home...I missed my cats and insects.






Back to some Lake Watauga photos again...I am still going through them all. Here, A Bee. Love those giant leg-pod things. Bee experts everywhere are cringing at my lack of knowedgeable bee vocabulary; however, that lack does not negate my love of and fascination by them.

The Giant Bee (?): Another Fleeting Photo

The Giant Bee

These photos are dark. I will continue stalking the giant bee in hopes of getting some better shots. I'm not even sure it IS a bee...its wings are somehow unbeelike. And it's huge.

The Bees Storm the Texas Sotol

Hugh took photos tonight of the bees swarming the Texas sotol, which finally has produced its full-on polleny goodness for our beloved bees and other neighborhood insects.


It looks like tiny kernels of corn!
