Dusted with Pollen!

Description

Took this picture of a bee buzzing around a flower and later noticed that it was covered in pollen!
I thought it was so neat to see this ... very unexpected. :)

Thanks, Marilyn! It was the first time a saw a bee all covered in pollen! I wonder if that's normal and if that's how they gather it ... or if he was just a messy bee! Ha! Ha! #6156424
