bees in flowers Archives - I am a Honey Bee

So while Price and I were at Polly’s Pancake House for a great breakfast, I spotted some bees attacking some lady elsie may rose bushes. My affinity towards bees has nothing to do with my blog name. I just love what they provide the world. They work their little buzzing asses off to pollinate flowers and as a result make the world a beautiful place. Let’s not forget the delightfully delicious honey.

So whenever I have a chance I snap a few photos of bees in action. Typically I have to perfectly time my photo as they are whirling around my head and hopping from flower to flower. Well, not this time. I stood around for 5 minutes watching this little bee on a mission to cover every single part of his body with pollen. I could barely distinguish his little legs apart as they were so completely covered. We left before I could see him fly away but I wish I could have see that brightly yellow speck trying to fly with all that extra pollen weight on him.
