Pollen coated bees have been roaming through my gardens. It has been a hot and somewhat windy day so it made for a difficult time getting clear shots. The bee slowly flew up and out of the squash flower and landed on the edge of the leaf to do a little cleaning and while it hung and cleaned the wind moved it side to side. Of all the shots I got only a few that were clear enough to see and even these are not perfect.
I just love seeing the pollen grains on the Honeybee! It's so cool to see the individual hairs and individual grains.
