Oh man, this shot took patience and good timing. You certainly had both! Fine image! V

barely hanging on ... :) Love the pink pollen

Somebody's been busy collecting pollen.

Roy, your timing is impeccable! This bee is either just landing or taking off by dropping! Cool pink pollen, like Roger I wonder if they make a special batch of honey ;~). Alan Kearney

Amazing bright pink pollen
Guest 04-Aug-2014 03:14
He really is covered in pollen

Excellent close up, not seen pink pollen, but the bee evidently likes it.

Very cool! Again, the pink is so unique (to me). I recently read that it is the females that collect the pollen and have all the little hairs. (Males do collect nectar, but apparently not the pollen.) :) Excellent shot.

They sure get right into the job at hand and your photos make it so clear to see that.
