    Amazing detail on the honey bee! I love how you can see the pollen baskets and each little insect hair.

    What great pictures. I haven't seen bees around much lately. I'm adding these asters to my list and seeing if they would grow here. They are so pretty.

    So close I could see their eyes and their furry body!! I hope you have this tagged for search engines because I think you'll get a lot of hits.

    That bee is obviously having a great time in the aster!

    You know you've got a winner for pollinators with that plant :)

    I feel the caption for most of these photos could very well be "Nom nom nom!" :)

    Sweet Bay ~ you always amaze me with your photos. These are so pretty. I think your bee ~ hover fly(???) looks like the same one I found recently?? Although, if it is, I'm sure yours is much happier with more flowers to visit!

    Fantastic photos of the bees! You can see every detail of their gossamer wings here. I really need to plant more asters!

    Seeing your bees so close is fantastic! I feel as if I am right there and can almost hear their wings.
    Rain and cold at my house...no bees today!
    So enjoyed catching up with you this morning.
    Happy New Moon!

    Always great photos.

    We've been plagued with asian hornets over here. They were introduced to SW France by accident about 6 years ago and now there are millions. So many hover over the grapes on the vines that its practically a no go area in mild weather at this time of year

    Hi Sweet Bay, I am in love with your bee shots and the aster! So clear, I feel like a bee voyeur. And in your bloom day post, Clotilde won my heart as well as Bessie. Just love all around! :-)
