While I was walking and photographing, I noticed another patch of poppies further down the field. They were a different kind, so I set off to check them out. Guess what?! My bee friends were there! So I sat down and had a little photo session with them. What a wonderful way to start the day.
@toinette Thank you very much! It was mostly a matter of guessing where it was going to be and having a very fast shutter speed.
@maggiemae Thank you so much! I was told last year when I posted a photo of one that it was a blue-banded bee. They are not from here, I have asked a naturalist here what they are, and he had never seen one. He was quite interested in my observations. I am not sure if he will be happy that there seem to be more of them this year.
@helenhall Thank you very much! The morning sun makes it easy to get drama.
@dkbarnett Thank you very much! I have more success with this type of bee than the others. I think they must fly more slowly on approach.
