Lovely bee :)

in #derangedphotography5 years ago (edited)

The weather in Crete is still sunny and hot and our little bees are enjoying themselves on the flowers of the loquat tree! I am taking pictures of bees the past few years and I have become quite fond of them! This one though, took me by surprise. I took it yesterday and I have to say it looks like no other of the hundreds of bee shots I have taken. You can check out some of my previous pictures here. Isn't this one really unique?

Gorgeous shot - is it just me or di I see similarities in the flower on the upper right (the one that's 'blurred') and the bee? On of the flower petals looks like the head of the bee - hehe.

Indeed! Your keen eye is epic :)

lovely bee, scary bee ;P

It is a little scary, yes!

Beautiful bee. What does crete honey taste like ? I know Ligurian bees that were reintroduced from those in Australia.

Thank you!
The most special flavour is thyme although usualy you'll find a mix of several flavours.
