Pole dancing
About 10 bees decided to visit this arum lily as I wanted to practice my macro skills. As I am allergic to bee sting, I was naturally cautious and tried to get a nice photo of them all, but I thought this one was a good one to showcase the bees busy to collect pollen. Normally the pollen stuck to their legs are yellow, but it seems that this flower gives them a white powdery pollen
Pole dancing belongs to the following groups:

Thanx Sis, was a bit scared though, they were really in a frenzy at some stage. Got about 10 lovely shots, but decided on this one. Yep, in my previous life I was coaching pole dancers ;-) NOT. Thought it would put some humour into the picture, and it did
