@gardencat they actually have a widely varied diet, they will catch pretty much any insect on the wing, not just bees :) Predators actually keep populations of their prey healthy, so lots of bee eaters around means a big healthy insect population, including bee population :)
Wow- he is so colorful! Our birds are much more subdued in color. I guess that's so they can blend in with the trees- but a pop of color like this would be fun to see! Excellent shot!
This is a beautiful bird on a wire
