A macro shot of a pink Leopard Lily
This honey bee on my Ceanothus in my back garden was so weighed down by pollen – and yet there always seems to be room for a bit more!
The pretty pink Lilly, bringing colour and pleasure to the garden, in the rarest and most stimulating of ways!

Bumblebees are social insects that are characterized by black and yellow body hairs, often in bands. However, some species have orange or red on their bodies, or may be entirely black. Another obvious (but not unique) characteristic is the soft nature of the hair (long, branched setae), called pile, that covers their entire body, making them appear and feel fuzzy. They are best distinguished from similarly large, fuzzy bees by the form of the female hind leg, which is modified to form a corbicula; a shiny concave surface that is bare, but surrounded by a fringe of hairs used to transport pollen (in similar bees, the hind leg is completely hairy, and pollen grains are wedged into the hairs for transport). Like their relatives the honey bees, bumblebees feed on nectar and gather pollen to feed their young. I will donate 100% of proceeds from the sales of this image to The Wildlife Trusts
Had the camera set up on the tripod and was shooting away at this gorgeous little pumpkin flower, when along came a bee. Lucky me! Hope you enjoy! Other Categories / Animals / Apes / Architecture / Baby Animals / Bears / Birds / Big Cats / Elephants / Fish / Insects / Macro / Nature / Reptiles
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
