One more bee shot. I liked this one because it shows some serious battle wounds on this bees wings.

Wow... it's amazing it can still fly with that damage! Nice catch!

Thanks for the great kind words everyone. I dont know what kind of flowers these are but I will find out. It was taken at a botanical garden in one of the California Universities. Hopefully I can go back today.

Great captures! Just had to note, though, guys, the incredible, works-in-spite-of-being-worn-to-the-bone bees are the females...In a beehive, the guys only have one function!
