Beautiful! Bees are important.
Thank Zachary for us!
Beautiful! Even though I've become highly allergic to bee stings over the years, I love to see them in my garden.
Oh how pretty!
Your photos are absolutely amazing. And the distance between me and those bees is about as close as I ever want to bee :)
Your closeups are incredible!
