The last flower

The peony has almost faded. The few flowers that still remain were besieged by bees. The bees were nervous. I don't know if it was caused by a small amount of flowers or the impending storm.

Great shot - just curious what does a nervous bee look like, is their behaviour different somehow?

oh but how popular it still is

@christinav My beekeeper friend is able to predict the weather after the bees behave. He knows it earlier and better than scientists equipped with powerful computers and modern programs. And as social insects, bees behave similarly to people in a group. When something bothers them, they become loud and the movements are faster and give the impression of haos.

Lovely

What a brilliant shot

[Inga Johansson]

The flower is sharp but you can see how bisy the bees are by the slight blur. Very good shot.

[Issi Bannerman]

Nicely captured.

[Mags]

The bees are loving that!

[Wylie]

Well they were doing a fine job regardless! Lovely shot

[Beryl Lloyd]

Such a beautiful capture - gorgeous colour and a delight for the bee !

[Esther Rosenberg]

[Peter Dulis]

lovely capture

[Kartia]

Certainly a popular flower. Interesting about the bees behaviour predicting weather. Little bit like animals and earthquakes.

[Louise & Ken]

A picture of pure pleasure..for you AND the bees!

[Merrelyn]

They're certainly making the most of that flower, lovely shot.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I love how you caught all those bees on it. Excellent capture.

[Margaret Brown]

So pretty and lovely focus

[Kathy]

The bees were working it for all they were worth. Interesting capture. The peony had either lost a lot of petals or has a smaller flower than ours have. I like the deep red color.

[Milanie]

Really nice close-up - bees were sure busy

[Granny7(Denise)]

Great close up. Obviously loads of pollen in there.

[gloria jones]

Wonderful capture

[Shutterbug]

That is quite a cluster of bees. Beautiful capture of the details.

[Taffy]

So interesting to see them all together on the flower.

[tony gig]

Wonderful...

A beautiful shot with the pink petals against the soft green background! (and I like how you caught the bees in their busy motion). Fav! (and great info from your beekeeper friend)
