Pollinator!

This is a very small part of a very large shrub some 4 metres high and about the same across. The flowers are barely open yet but already it's 'Bee Central' - the humming is so loud it sounds like a hive!

Best viewed on black I think...

PS: I've had to repost this image as whilst attempting to correct a typo, I somehow deleted it entirely along with your comments and Favs so please accept my apologies and know that I did appreciate your visit.

@annied @toinette @jgpittenger @dyanstevens Ladies, you were kind enough to comment and/or Fav this image but whilst correcting a typo I somehow deleted the entire image and your comments with it.... what am I like?!!

If you could spare a moment to comment/Fav again I would very much appreciate it... and I promise not to do it again!

This is really lovely Richard. The composition almost uses the golden ratio, doesn't it?

Couldn't see the bee at first. That, and the flat light gives the impression that the bee has been caught 'at it', whatever 'it' is.
