The Honey Bees finally came out on some warm days to gather nectar from the Crocus. The beauty of the Crocus is only enhanced by the Honey Bees visiting. You can see the pollen on the bee's legs as he does the work.
This one is really working hard to get every drop.
The Honey Bees had a lot of choices of which flower to check.
This one is making an approach with the wings beating furiously.
It was good to see them back, even if it was only for a day.
Yep, it's a good sign of spring, Fishing Guy. Lovely happy pictures you give us here.
ReplyDeleteNice series. #2 is my fav. Spring is almost here. Blue Skies.
ReplyDeleteHi Tom, still feeling well???? I hope! We have Crocus--but I haven't seen any honey bees yet.
ReplyDeleteI got outside and cleaned our rock sidewalk (from the front of the house around the side to the back deck). I cleaned up those left-over nuts/acorns from fall, lots of leaves and sticks. Dirty job--but it needed to be done!!! I would have thought that the squirrels would have gotten the nuts--but there were just too many this past Fall.
Have a great weekend.

Oh my..this is so lovely!!
ReplyDeleteNice macros of the bees and crocuses. I guess the bees agree with the calendar that spring is here!

Wonderful series! I've been trying to capture the bees on my flowers w/o much success, but I have shared birds at Happily Retired Gal and Small Reflections today ... dogs at Sacred Ruminations.

ReplyDeleteExcellent captures my friend!! It seems like spring is on the way and everybody feels better now that it is getting warmer. Cold weather can really put a damper on your spirits sometimes.
ReplyDeleteHow are things with you Tom? Feeling much better I hope?
Some fabulous photos here..the bees and crocuses are lovely! :D
ReplyDeleteI sure did see the pollen busy little bees.The first sign of spring for me is the darn spiders are in the house.I would so much rather have the bees. How are you feeling? I hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteA very busy little bee! Nice photos!
ReplyDeleteVery nice closeups, Tom. I am looking forward to bees this spring.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! The bees aren't out flying here yet, but I'll "capture" them for my blog as soon as I see them. People look at me like I'm crazy when I sit on the trail and happily snap away at the bees and other bugs. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, FG. As usual.
ReplyDeleteI like trying to get shots of the bees and other flying creatures. Sometimes it's not easy. Which is part of the challenge.
Great captures! You have flowers blooming already???
ReplyDeleteI hope you are doing wonderful, my friend - I continue to keep you in my prayers.
My daughter used to draw her 3 year old version of the pollen baskets on the bee legs. Thanks for the memories!
ReplyDeleteI dont' think I've seen bees yet. The crocus are so delicate looking.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to see a HONEY bee!
ReplyDeleteYour crocus are as pretty as mine.
Yay Bees!! I love it when you show bees-cause you always get such good pictures of them!
