Best viewed large if you have time.
While I am not totally happy with this shot - I have seen so many better ones on 365 - there are a few redeeming features of this picture.
First, this was taken before she had a chance to clean the pollen off her face.
Second, you can tell that she is an older bee because of how beat up and frayed the ends of her wings are. I wonder how many miles she has logged on in her short life?
I find bees fascinating - they fly miles from home, gather pollen and nectar, and then can find their way back every time.
Awesome creatures.
