Getting a Grip

Description

...before the sip.
There have been recent reports of "collapsed hives", and a shortage of bees for pollination. But I saw bees swarming around flower beds near the doctor's office yesterday. They must be the exception to the rule.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/800 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 105.38 mm, Model: DMC-FZ70

It's true, Mary. And it's so sad. We cannot do without them.
I jump up and down with joy everytime I see one!
You captured this little beauty well. #11247699

Reynaldo D. Reyes level-classic February 17, 2015

Wow, great magnification, you must have gotten pretty close to this beauty. I sure need them to get my lemon shrub flowering again. It sure feels like spring with the temps last few days. #11249186

Mary K. Robison February 17, 2015

Thanks, Rey. I hope that, at the very least, a few bees will have a party around your lemon shrub. As for our blue skies and sunshine, I try not to take them for granted. Those poor people on the East Coast! And in the Midwest! And ...anywhere but here, it seems. #11249219
