~A Buzz By~
Uploaded: June 28, 2011
Went out this morning to photograph some nearby wild roses . . . I have a great dislike/fear of bumble bees but forced myself to stay in place long enough to get a few of this busy little one.

I guess I am not alone in my big fear of bumblebees. I think their "leader" tells them to chase me....you got a great image here, Marcie! Rare to get them in flight. Good job! #9492180Melinda F. Schneider June 28, 2011
Terrific image, Marcie! So glad you faced your fears; it really paid off! #9492531Shelly A. Van Camp June 28, 2011
I am allergic to bees and hornets. I love bubble bees....they are not mean and aggressive as hornets. Plus we need them!! Glad you photographed them. :) #9493243Susan K. Snow June 29, 2011
It's so much more interesting with a flying bee in the image. Now a story is being told.Flowers without bees are lacking. Bees are necessary and are becoming endangered with the massive spraying of agrochemicals and genetically modified organisms altering the DNA of plants. #9494662
