If I want to capture a bee or two, I just head over to the gaura belleza plant. There is always a few bees dancing around these blooms.
Trying to capture the busy bees and the swaying blooms is always a nice challenge. Sometimes I'm lucky.
Memory Trigger: Typing that title "Busy Bees" brought back a childhood memory. There used to be a store in Quincy Illinois where I grew up called "Busy Bee". It was one of those places that sells just about everything. If I needed a new pair of shoes or dad needed some T-shirts or mom was looking for a summer hat, the Busy Bee had it all. I can still picture the place with its creaking wood floors and a ceiling full of fans that were all connected together with one, very large fan belt. Great memories!

What a lucky shot! Well done.
Way to go Sharon. Photographing bees on flowers is a challenge. Photographing one in flight is even more challenging.
Great bee shots, it is good to see honeybees about. I love the memory trigger, my home town hardware store still feels like that
These are great shots of the bees.
It is nice to get a memory coming back like that, Sharon.
Excellent macros!
These are very good pictures!!! I love the second one.
I think I've said this before, but we used to have Gaura plants in our garden. They didn't last long, unfortunately.
Excellent bee captures, they are beauties.
Pretty photos. We have a lot of happy bees on our bottlebrush blooms outside our window right now. Fun to watch!
Always good to see the bees buzzing around, we need them
Wonderful captures.
