Sticky legs.

I took this photo intending to put it in my extra album but have nothing better today so here it is.

I was quite intrigued by the pollen all over this bees legs!

I must say a big thank you for putting my 'bouquet ' picture very very briefly on the PP. I didn't see it but even with only 3 faves it was on!

[Judith Greenwood]

I love the spiky flower matching the hairy bee here Pat! Somebody will explain those leg things to you I'm sure - I've seen them mentioned before but I can't remember the proper name!

[Lesley Allen]

Love how you can see the pollen sprinkled over the bee. great capture

Beautiful capture, is this chive flowers from your herb patch?

[Fanny Brogden]

[Cathy Donohoue]

This is a beauty - go and pollinate!
I have had people tell me something is there that I have never seen.......so, fame is fleeting! Enjoy. The powers that be should send us an email or something.

[Pat Knowles]

@bpaquette The flower is just a chive Barbara, amazing how different they look close up !

[Pat Knowles]

@cleanfreak Yes Carole I love chives & that is a herb I use lots of !

[Pat Knowles]

@cdonohoue LOL perhaps you are right Cathy! My flower picture only had 3 faves so was really surprised they bothered to put it in !!! I am grateful it got there though .. mustn't be picky !!!

Bees love my chives too! Great shot Pat!

[Jane Pittenger]

Great spikey chives to dust the bee's legs

[Jean Tookey]

A great capture. Such lovely details and brilliant colour.

[Maggiemae]

I love this purple flower with stripes! I saw a bee (trying to photograph it, of course) and its legs we're so thick with pollen it couldn't fly properly! So it shook itself in mid air and the pollen sprayed off in clouds! I wasn't quick enough!

[Jennifer]

Excellent capture. Love it,

[Phil Howcroft]
