Summertime Sights / Day 4: Beekeeping.

Day 4 in a set of summertime pictures for July.

In celebration of what seems like the summer finally arriving, i'm going to post a set of shots taken on various walks and visits made recently (and upcoming), to numerous places along the South coast and here in the West Midlands.

Another couple of hours in the garden yesterday waiting for bees! Having realised what two particular flowers attracted the most, I managed to catch some shots - this being my favourite as he is up to his knees in pollen!
very beautiful flower Darren

Nice composition and colours Darren. Could you send us some of your summer weather. The skies are battleship grey down here in Sussex.

@steampowered It's not been wall to wall sunshine here, although have had plenty of breaks in the clouds. The weekend is meant to be a scorcher all over though apparently :)

Good composition and very vibrant colours. Hoping for better weather here today.
