 This bee was on a sunflower. At closer look I saw its legs were full of pollen. I watched for awhile and other bees came and crawled around until pollen stuck to their legs too. Nature is wonderful :)

It seems a little out of focus, otherwise, nice shot.

the legs all loaded up with pollen are nice - it falls into something that appears muddy and too soft a focus for me

Sweat bee! (Looked for one all week!) Nice shot. A tad dark in the sunflower, otherwise pretty nice. 8 Rob the Swah

The color is strong, but the bee could be a little sharper.
