Is that its tongue I see poking down into that disk flower? What a shot — nice that the ray flowers were few enough for you to capture it from the side.
Nice shot! I find it interesting that the bumble bees and carpenter bees I photograph have black/brown tinted wings versus the clear wings of your bees.
Excellent.

Saw some big ones in the garden this afternoon, but none lingered long enough for me to capture. This is lovely.
