The bees were buzzing in the Centenary Border on our visit to Hilliers Arboretum with Jackie @30pics4jackiesdiamond and Dave.

@beryl

Yes, and I agree if it's a resurgence of bees I'm glad. I was sad one year when I took a shot of a bee on a flower who obligingly did not move and then I found he was dead. I think they have a rough time for various reasons.

Peter, thank you. Taken with my Lumix LX100, a recent purchase which I think has proved itself in macro.
