In a summer morning I was walking by a pink periwinkle bush flooded with the new soft sunlight and noticed this cheery honey bee having breakfast on the nectar of the periwinkles. It was doing all kind of acrobatics - diving into the buds, hanging up side down from the petals, digging into the half opened petals... to drink the nectar from each and every periwinkles... didn't want to spare even a single one. Just stopped by to wish a 'Good Morning'! ... and ultimately spent a long two hours watching its cheerful activities.

It kept on drinking the nectar... either it fasted the previous night or was too greedy. You know the after effect... it got drunk. Couldn't fly anymore and no more acrobatics... it was walking down like a tame wingless creature - from one flower to another. It just didn't have enough strength left to fly...

This is a complete (yet-to-be-completed) photo-essay. I will upload photos here regularly and complete the story. Visit this gallery again to see the new photographs.... and the full story - with a dramatic end.
Though I didn’t have proper lighting equipments, a ring-flash or even a simple dedicated one, tried to capture the story using the on-body pop-up flash and hence the hot-spots and reflections from wings in the photographs.
