I watched this one this evening while I was having five minutes sat listening to the birds in my little garden.
They reach the nectar and pollen by weighing down the flower to open the petals or biting a hole in the flower tube so they can reach inside with their tongues.

cute little fat one. :)
Nice shot. Great timing !
That's a beautiful shot. One of my favorite things to study bees in the garden.
Lovely aren't they?
Don't know how many times I've tried to catch a bee hovering like that. Just seems like every time I do, the bee darts off to some place else.
Great shot!

Most excellent:)
...isn't it lovely to sit a while and just watch nature doing its own thing. I hadn't know that they might bite a hole in the petal to reach their food source though, something new learnt; thanks for sharing Drew
What a great shot! sandie

That's awesome, Andrew! It's not easy to catch a bee in flight. Nice job!
Brilliant capture Andrew!
Beautiful macro. I'm so ashamed of us humans when I think of all the bees dying.
Great timing on this shot! I haven't seen many bumble bees around here lately. Hopefully soon...we need them in the garden!
Wow! great catch! Amazing photo Andrew!
So it is a fantastic shot ...
Lovely shot, Andrew. Great how you've captured it in mid-flight!
