Bee on the ladder

I had gone out to check the pool for critters to find only this bee who had rescued himself. I love watching them dry themselves off. It takes quite a while for them to be satisfied that they are fly-worthy.

I liked the way it looks as though he is checking out his reflection, making sure his bee hair is all neat and tidy.
We humans can't afford to lose any of them! Good for this charmingly beautiful fellow! Such a nice photo!

@Weezilou I know! Usually, when I get outside there are several bees needing rescue, that is why I was so surprised to find only this one who had managed to rescue himself.

@joannakate Thank you!

@helenhall Thank you! This is when I wished I had a clean and polished pool ladder, so the reflection would be even better.

@joysabin Thank you so much! Yes, he was good to go in a short time.

@johnfalconer Thank you very much for the comment and follow.

@hunnybee I am so glad you found me and like what you found! It breaks my heart to see them struggle so.
