RED-TAILED BUMBLEBEES (BOMBUS LAPIDARIUS)
Classic view, feeding on hyssop
This bee has a fair-sized mite on its back
A frankly rather indelicate shot – somehow the light produced this extraordinary colouring of the ‘tail’

That’s very good to hear! I very nearly suppressed the bottom one on the grounds of… too much bottom. But the colour was astonishing after I’d downloaded it. Unexpected. Modern photography. ‘Designed to provoke a reaction in the beholder’, as art gallery blurbs sometimes insist. RH

Gorgeous. I try to take photos of the many bees visiting my garden, but rarely get ones as good as these!

Well I don’t know, I recall some pretty spectacular close-up shots from the days when you posted regularly… I’m guessing you’ve got busy these days! RH
