Description

Thanks for viewing ! Comments are welcome... Well i've finally found out what kind of bee it is, well actually PapaGuru helped me a great deal, thanks Papa :o) Its Andrena flavipes, i couldnt find the english name. It is a miner bee however. Actually i dont know what the story is with them sleeping in that grass as in "Sleeping Beauties". Because they do burrow, and this shot is the evidence ! :o) I think these bees are very interesting creatures, and so there will be more pctures of them still :o) But i will end the series tomorrow with another triple. Thanks for all your wonderful comments on "Sleeping Beauties" !! Many thanks, Enmos

A miner bee... how about that! You were pretty clever to spot this guy... he's only just popped his head out! Well done... that's patience rewarded!!!

A nice change of pace from seeing a bee on a blower to this. Can't say I've seen them do this which explains why he's called a miner bee. nice capture.

Wonderful sharp shot.. but maybe it would be better if the bee wasn't so centered? Just a thought =) Fantastic macro =)
