Description

Bombus pascuorum on Inula hookeri. It's been quite tricky getting insects recently, what with the dull or rainy weather, then sun and a strong breeze. I have been watching rather more TV than usual, no guesses needed for why that might be!

I'm always a sucker for yellow, then you add a bee and get me right in! Nice one! Now I'm guessing you're watching some of the Olympic events right?

Beautifully photographed, the bright yellow color and then that beautiful bumblebee, Andrea. I guess you watch the Olympics ;-).

Oh how sunny and marvelous! It is snowing in Johannesburg today - the first time in the 23 years that I have been living here! It is freezing and this image brings much needed warmth!
