Bumble B

fantastic photo

Thanks Irish,we'll try your method next time.I've fed them honey on my finger before.Bumble Bees rarely sting I've been told

aye that is true , they very rarely will sting you, unlike wasps lol

All creatures great and small :o)

Great shot!

It wasn't difficult to photogragh, Tasteya, it was too tired to move.

Brilliant snap Hameryllis

Thanks Milky,having a camera capable taking it this close did help

When I saw this photo I thought the bee was trying to lift the skewer! Sad isn't it?

I see what you mean Chloris, it does look a bit like one of them there caber wotsits.

Pamds comment was mine.

Could be a case of B.O.(Bee Olympics)

They could include the six legged race. That would be a buzzzzzz.

Now that would bee winging it!

Should have no problem doing a 4 minute Mel

You are a sweet talker Hameryllis!

So hive been told Chloris

Oh you do drone on Hameryllis!

You win,Queen Chloris,I give in,well done.

Thanks Hameryllis, one just has bee keeping busy doesn't one?

well hameryllis, thats one to remember, i think most of us see one over worked bee at some point during summer, so will try this myself,,:)

Its amazing how quickly they recover Sanbaz,very rewarding.
