Bees at the Garden
 |
| I was amazed by the shocking yellow of this bee. Then I realized it was so bright because it was covered--and I mean covered--in pollen. It was pretty neat. |
 |
| It was awesome. |

| This grasshopper wasn't so keen on sharing this sunflower. The bees kept landing and when they'd get close the hopper would whip out a back leg and give them quick kick right off the blossom. It was fairly amusing I must say. This photo was taken about 10 seconds before this bee got the boot. |

| We saw at least a couple different kinds of bees at the garden. They were all quite busy amongst the flowers. |
That is a tremendous photo of the bee covered in pollen.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was so pleased that my camera cooperated and actually focused on the little guy. He was sure doing his job pollinating the garden!
ReplyDeleteThat is a phenomenal shot. I did not know bees got all covered with pollen. Hmmm. And, I did not know grasshoppers defended themselves and their "territory"with a kick to the offender.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was one of the most stunning things I'd seen at the garden I must say. He was sooooo yellow.
ReplyDeleteAnd it seems that a grasshopper packs quite a wallop in that back leg! It was pretty fascinating. Also something we'd never seen before.
