July 24 - Conflict

I watched this for several minutes.
The bee wanted to land on the blossom
but every time he did these large ants would rush up
and chase him away.
I got bored and left before the conflict was resolved
so I don't know how it ended.

My my! How territorial! I saw a butterfly on the hummingbird feeder, being dive-bombed by a bee today. Must be something in the air! Terrific timing, Neal. Excellent detail!!

At least you have bees, I haven't seen one in many weeks! Neat photo, Neal.

Fabulous macro. I think the bee will win.
