Because May 10th was the 100th consecutive day of the “Bee-a-Day” on this site, I decided to celebrate by posting 100 bees that day. I kinda got carried away. Final tally: 150 bees posted, 10 bonus (quasi-)pollinators, and one beebaby iris.

Ooh, I do like how this bee was caught on this photo. Being able to see the top of its head is very unusual (isn’t it?) Usually, a bee has his head down, busy and focused, right?
Think it might be about that Ansel Adams thing – where to stand. That one was in motion crawling up the bud…so I think I was in the right place relative to the bee for that.
