(Day 50) - Bee's Business

Just another "bee"sy spring day! Found out that a single bee can carry about half their own body weight in pollen. Imagine how much this giant bee could hold! :)

this scared the bejesus out of me! i thought goodness what plagued that hibisbus!! then on closer inspection.... :-P

[Louise & Ken]

If one of these would serve as a lure in the garden, I'd stock up on them! Cuteness!

[Granagringa]

Too funny...if the question was to bee or not to bee, I'm certainly glad you chose the former! If it weren't so clever on its own, it would work as a parody...Brilliant.

[Sharon]

Made me smile!!

[Walks @ 7]

Fun shot.

[Rachel]

Amazing stats! The question is, could I hold half my body weight in chocolate?

[Denise Wood]

Bee-utiful :)

[katy]

Such a clever idea and I am already jealous that you already have hibiscus blooming.

[Jennifer]

Lol!

[MB]

I'm sure your bee was drawn straight to that beautiful, bright pink flower.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Fun shot- that bee certainly knows how to pick the pretty flowers!

[Taffy]

Busy bee seems to have found his spot! Good thing there aren't more of him -- not sure the flowers could stand up against more than one!

[Stephanie]

Great shot Chris, what a pretty flower, but did you know that a bee's favourite flower is a bee-gonia ....... ha ha ha ....sorry... :) :)

[Chris Johnson]

@summerfield - Hahaha didn't mean to scare you but I'm glad to know I created a life-like shot. :D

[Chris Johnson]

@888rachel - I asked myself the same thing about chocolate!! Don't think it's a very good idea though. Hahaha

[Chris Johnson]

@grammyn - Thanks Katy! Tell you the truth, the only time the hibiscus in LA go out of season is if we have a chilly autumn or winter. They're pretty much always in season. :)

[Caroline]

Hahahaha this made me laugh so much!!! :) :) He's getting that pollen out!!! I adore bees and feel very protective of them. Not enough people realize how crucial they are to our ecosystem!

[Chris Johnson]

@kerosene - Haha thank you Caroline!! Glad to give you a laugh! I feel the same way, bees are so important!!
