Gallery: Bees, Bumblebees, and Wasps

Isn't it funny that I've never been stung by a wasp, yellowjacket or hornet, but several times already by bees? I love bees nonetheless. :-) My favourites are probably hornets and bumblebees, but the tiny wild solitary bees are cute too of course. Oh, and: I'm terrible at systematics and always grateful if you point out mistakes in the naming of these creatures.

Funny commentary, and is funny. I've been stung several times by wasps, but only once by a bee.
Lovely gallery, keep it up.
