A rare find where the coloring of the flowers rubbed off onto the yellow pollen and hence the end result.

I know bees are a common subject but thought people might be interested in seeing something a little different from the norm.

Love this photo Brendon. I've been taking my own snaps of bees in flight but this one is amazing. The clarity of the bee is fantastic. I've also noticed the different colour the pollen takes on from different flowers. They are little workers all right!

That is so weird!!!! I didn't know pollen came in different colors. Or did you do that in ps? Fabulous macro nonetheless.
