Bombus pratorum on cornflower.

I am so lucky this year to have many bumblebees in our garden, they are fighting a long fight against mites and pollutants, so its a real pleasure to finally see bees in larger numbers this year!

Wow, looks like the flower is swallowing the bee... Excellent!

Yep bees seem to be back with a vengence this year, and it is so good to see :) Perhaps they go hand in hand with the profusion of wild flowers this year, although I'm not quite sure why that should be! Anyway, lovely photo of this little bee.

Are the bumble bees affected as badly as the honey bees? So good to see them around, anyway. Great pic, Cazi. Enjoy your weekend!
