#Bee
2023 Photo Challenge 157/365
Taking a minute to notice the small things when trying to take some photos of flowers. This little bee could really mess me up but was very cool as I tried to take some shots. Little flighty for my taste but think I did a decent job. No healing just some cropping. Slight slider work but nothing to write home about. #bee #flower #lawn #summertime #2023photochallenge

I just spotted a #bee in the garden, and a hover fly 🐝
One of each: a far cry from the numbers I used to see. But I will concentrate on the positive today, and be happy there are still some.
See the #bee

@leighbooker Would be also good to remember that far than not all #bees live in big hives overproducing honey for human usage. Bee hives are merely a place to testify the #bee population drop. Wild bees matter.
A VERY hot wander around #ParcSlip #Nature reserve today, plenty of #Insects to photograph, so here's a few... A #FourSpottedChaser #Dragonfly, A #Tapered #DroneFly, A #CommonCarder #Bee and an #Azure #DamselFly

... and a second set of photos. This time focusing on flowers. Everything was smelling like herbal tea and honey during the walk.
Featuring: some star-shaped white stonecrop flowers, yellow St. John's wort, pink rock roses, and some white savory flowers with a bee collecting nectar from it.

A bigger #bee bottom. They're all out to dine on the Campanula this evening #nature #flowers #photography




Some photos from my short hike on Monday morning in Kavala. Very nice weather, lots of small animals and flowers. Was definitely worth it.
Featuring: a honeybee full of pollen diving inside a prickly pear cactus flower, a panoramic view of Kavala from above with the island Thassos in the background, a cirl bunting sitting in a tree and a Greek tortoise in the middle of the path that was unfortunately afraid of my steps.

I call this one 'Bee on Wildflower' 🐝

Never mind the bees, save the moths. New research from the University of Sheffield UK tells us that moths are almost as important pollinators as bees, but being small, dull, and largely nocturnal are overlooked in this capacity.

Snapped this #treedhalia yesterday arvo in the glorious afternoon we had. Looks like an equally grand day is ahead of us today!
These grow between 8–10 metres tall. It is native to Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and south into Colombia and Ecuador.
I’ve noticed a few more during school drop offs today, so it appears they’re all coming out to play, on cue.
#bee visiting, see pic 1 🐝

Bit off topic this one (technically still miniature 😆) but it’s been quite a pleasant weekend for weather here in Yorkshire & really great to see a healthy bee population in our flower bed I thought I’d go out and take some snaps of the fluffy beasts…

#bee swarm down the street. Tiny. Did not see a queen. Wonder if they are lost. Put a waxed frame next to then and they all crawled right on!

Here is a carpenter #bee heading for some rosemary flowers.

At one of the ranches where we have hives: found 4 swarms you want them? (Not our swarms!) Some serious #bee math going on this year. #beekeeping

Not a great shot and needed a lot of enhancement, but I had to post it. I thought I was shooting a large bee, buzzing loudly. It was big enough that my camera was able to focus on it in the air. When I saw the photo on the computer, I noticed two heads. Then I realized the different types antennas. Soon after this shot it flew away. The genus is known as Bee Killers. I can see why. Mallophora fautrix

"Black And White"
Erst beim zweiten/dritten Blick, habe ich die Biene gesehen.

An adorable little bee that made me smile today.

Day 23
Wasps don't suspect I'm actually a bee.
Bees don't know I'm here to steal their pollen.
This entomologist seems to be piercing through my web of lies though.

Caught another swarm of bees this morning. When the swarm was still hanging in the bush i was too stressed to take a picture. But it went well with the catching. Didn't get a single sting this time.
Now they are in the box. The last ones are still flying a bit excited in front of the box.
This movie is about 10 x slow motion.

Here's one of those large ground-nesting bees I collected the other weekend (there were THOUSANDS of them; I collected four). I believe it's Diadasia bituberculata. #Entomology #Photography #InsectPhotography #Bee #Hymenoptera #apidae


Oh my Godddddd :blobcataww: Ophrys apifera au Parc Floral de Bordeaux.
Mah, wie sie aus der Blüte wieder raus kriecht und sich in der Sonne putzt, mein Herz! 😭😍

If you're creating #bee logs, be sure to keep the face of them dry. These bee logs are at the top of a stone filled gabion, with reclaimed roofing slate providing a protective lip over the edge. The slate is weighed down with reclaimed bricks in a pyramid structure, providing yet more nooks and crannies for invertebrates.
You can just see the young Aronia 'Brilliant', growing well

A beautiful day today! I spend most of the day doing yard work but did take some time out to photograph dandelions. Enjoy!
Two swarms of bees here today. One i was able to catch. This one is now in the new box. Part is still sitting outside and fanning to attract the remaining bees of the swarm.
The other swarm sits too high in the tree. My arms are a little too short.
Warning: lots of bees.
It’s world bee day? Okay. Here’s Bombus sylvicola on Prickly Saxifrage. It also sports a couple hive mites near the base of its left wing. #WorldBeeDay #Nunavut #bee #bumblebee
World Bee Day? What an awesome celebration. There are some amazing pics on here today!

Apparently it's world bee day, so here is a photo of a bumble bee I took in Cologne in 2013 in the Rheinpark. I love how fluffy this bee's butt is.

A bee I caught sleeping. I watched it for a while, from a telephoto distance, as it was the first time I had noticed a bee actually just sleeping and I wasn't sure if it was alive. I don't know what I would've done, but I wouldn't have shared 'dead bee image.' Sleeping bees are cute; dead bees, sad. It eventually did buzz off, so 'sleeping bee image.' :)
Since then, I've taken a few other sleeping bee images. :)
For #WorldBeeDay here's a #sketch I did of a #bee in #ink and #ColoredPencil last summer. #MastoArt #Art
A #photo I took many moons ago; that of a #bee, with my beloved in the background. Since it's #WorldBeeDay, I remembered it exists & maybe You find joy in it as I do in that particular #memory.
Today is #WorldBeeDay & so an interesting piece of information.
#DoYouKnow that 'Brahmari' is the #Hindu Goddess of #Bees
In #Yoga, she is represented by 'Pranayama', a type of breathing exercise through nose making a sound like a #Bee buzzing!

Really enjoyed Lars Chittka's talk on #cognition in bees! Big recommendation to go watch it!
Impressions of a bee. (Native Australian Bees)
I think I want to stylize these further? I think. I'm still considering. I got the watercolour vibe I was after. But I think I was hyper vigilant about making the anatomy of each bee stand out that I kind of lost a lot of the initial shapes I had.
#bee #bees #NativeBee #AustralianWildlife #art #MastoArt #bug
This started out so cool in my head - I wanted to do something impressionistic and watercoloury but it didn't end up working. Ah well, back to the drawing board, at least with these images I understand more about bees. Turns out native bees are great and fuzzy and I love them so I'm happy to draw more.
I think a native bee sticker set is just what people need, but I want to make it have flair and pizzazz and this just isn't the direction. 🤔 #bee
