I hope that's a deceptively SMALL flower. Otherwise the bee is the Shaquille O'Neal of bumblebees! YIKES!

Great. A tad sharper would have made it even better but bees are never cooperative!

No it could not be chance :) (bet you already got that comment!) Nice photo, maybe a touch blurry...

A lovely photo - the colors are wonderfullly rich and the fuzziness of the bee is quite a treat. I'm not sure it fits the challenge - a bee finds nectar and flowers because that's what they were born to do. But I can identify with the delight of watching one and how that can feel like a happy accident.

Is the title sarcasm? If not, the answer is, "I don't think so." Sorry, I don't see how it meets the challenge. Maybe you happened to be somewhere and you got this shot, but if that's the challenge criterion, couldn't ANY picture meet the challenge?
