That Damned Wool Carder!

So there I was…shooting a honeybee on my notsosecret crush, sedum angelina, when that silly, territorial wool carder bee crashed up the honeybee and knocked it off. I see this through my lens fairly regularly – but I seldom get good focus on either bee. Mostly it’s just a blurry mess. But this one is a pretty good one of everyone – including Angelina.

Another Miniscule Bee – on the Penstemmons

This is a volunteer penstemmon – and that means that it’s a BeeBaby! This shot was really a lucky catch. That bee is just about the size of an average ant – and that means there’s not much at all to focus on. And getting any part of it focused is just dumb luck. But it’s neat to see such small ones. Seems to be a mission lately.
