Disoriented Bee

This poor creature was crawling up and down the leaves, top sides and bottoms, not paying any attention to the blossoms.It was also pumping its body up and down as though it was mating (or constipated!) I suspect it may have picked up some neurotoxins in its travels.

And that's why more than 50% of all bees have died. The sad thing is that bees are responsible for more than 1/3 of ALL that we consume as humans ... and yet, the farmers continue to pour their chemicals by the tons all over the place, thanks Mosento! Great shot BTW

So sad to hear that, but you got a great capture of the poor thing.

Poor thing. Did it finally go to any of the flowers? YOu certainly achieved a wonderful shot of both the bee and the leaf. V
