No - Not Nectar again. by ladymagpie

No - Not Nectar again.

I've been looking after my neighbours garden while they were away and I spotted that the bees were very active on the rockery next to the pond.

It must get very boring for the bees that every time they stick their heads inside a flower all they get is nectar. I do expect each flower gives a slightly flavoured nectar, but it would be like me putting my head in the freezer all the time and coming out with just different flavoured ice-cream.

I know I have some strange thoughts, but fancy having ice-cream for every meal - perhaps that's not a bad idea as long as I get Rum and Raisin sometimes.

Thank you for all your comments and FAVs on my Blackbird and you didn't get the song stuck in your head.
Pretty shot!

Awesome macro - love all the textures. I think that nothing but ice cream would work for me for a few days - after that I'd be desperate for salt, anything with salt!!!

I think they must really enjoy that nectar!

It would be nice to think they can also get a different smell each time - do bees have noses??

First let me say I love the title and I have never really thought much about a bees senses. So after reading this I went looking. Found this info very interesting. http://animals.mom.me/honey-bees-smell-feel-taste-11598.html

Buzzy shot, Heather. Maybe because of the heat you have some strange thoughts. Never mind, you created a nice picture.

This is a great shot Heather and I love your random thoughts. They make me smile and I'm sure if I were a bee I'd appreciate a change of diet periodically!!
