Seems that my blooming succulents attract bees.
One bee to be exact. This little furry and fatty one. She really enjoyed those Echeveria blooms. I was watching her every morning for about 2 or 3 weeks until the flowers dried up. Once she brought a friend, but I guess it didn't like it as much.

Strange creature this one. It is more shy than the regular honey bee. It gets scared very easily so I couldn't get very close. Honey bees dont care about camera pointing at them.

This one also flies a lot faster and can freeze in the air almost like a hummingbird :)
See?

I also had Kalanchoe blooming at that time, but those weren't her favourite.
In the back you can see thick, green Gasteria leaves.

Nice to have them around :) I don't get any pretty butterflies here, so I enjoy all the other creatures.
