If she fits, she sits
Great Lakes region, USA. June 2026.
Its a good time watching these bumble bees rummaging inside a hairy beardtongue.
First bee photo I've taken in 2026
Hopefully this will be the first of many I take this season. Hopefully^2^ I'll even take the time to break out my "real camera" at some point and go 🐝 hunting
Flight of the Bumblebutt
Great Lakes region, USA. May 2026.
Look at that pollen in their pollen baskets! Such diligent workers. This was my first attempt at capturing a bumblebee in flight. I guess 1/3200s wasn't fast enough. I still like these and bees on cherry blossoms is an awesome combo.I hope y'all like them too.
Hard working beebutt
This bee was building its place between two stone plates. Here it pushed out dirt while moving backwards.
Rescued a bumble bee from my basement with my repurposed tennis racket, fishing net.
Got it outside and it went straight into a flower on my apple tree.
Fast fellah
This fellah was so fast that I've had a really hard time catching him.
