Addicted to Love

If bees could have a "pollen problem" this fellow would be an addict! As usual I'm one day late for the song challenge. I never find something when they're up and running- always after the fact!

Of course this video has nothing to do with bees- but a bee cramming his face into a Rose of Sharon full of pollen made me think of it.

Great find and capture Ann I hope it could still fly away.

[amyK]

This one is doing more than his share!

[Ellen Bogenschutz]

Yum, Yum!

[Milanie]

Wow - don't see how he can get off the ground - incredible amount of pollen

[Kathy]

Apparently they can get drunk on fermented nectar. Well spotted and a nice shot of this guy collecting the pollen.

Thank you Wendy, Debra, Katy, Elena, Amy, Milanie, Kathy, Harry, Babs, Diana, Jenn, Katrina and Marilyn!

Thanks for all your views, comments and favs. I was amazed at how much detail my Olympus picked up on this- I've cropped it to make the bee stand out even more and nothing was lost. That little camera LOVES macros!

Great closeup!
