A FITTING END?
After stuffing itself with pollen or nectar from the honeysuckle flowers, this bee seems to have found its final place of rest on the petals of one of the flowers. It stayed in this position for more than 10 minutes whilst I watched and took shots, with only an occasional twitch of its limbs. I think it was dying, but when I looked again about an hour later, it was gone. Perhaps the wind had dislodged it from its final perch.
Several people have suggested that the Bee may have been drunk. Perhaps? Maybe that's why it just lounged there in its comfortable hammock.
