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

Busy as always. We have a grey bottomed one that lives in our veggie garden.

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.

Yes, that’s its tongue. It was a lucky shot 🙂

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.
