Those are some very happy bees, I usually don't see that many together on one bloom. Beautiful macro shots.

Wow, what a great motel! If they are accepting people and dogs, please reserve a space for me and my hounds! ;-) We want to witness where our honey makers are getting their food!

I love the title, that first picture really looks like one.
Your macros are gorgeous, again, with perfect details.
Have a great weekend!

grow more of these flowers, and you can keep a bee hive.

Great macro shots. I just love that second one. I must not be too awake yet because I didn't even notice the bees in the first one until I read the other comments. I had to scroll back up to look at all the pictures again to find them...lol

That bee motel day was such fun. The other shots are incredible as well but I don't think I saw them with you. The little twirly whirly thing is cute.

betchai, there were so many bees around that day it was unbelievable. You can ask Carmen, she was with me. I'm surprised we did not get stung :D

Bossy, you are a kick. You should do stand up comedy - seriously :D

Bang, yes tendrils from a plant though I don't remember which one.

Squirrel, yeah that was an unusual day for the bees.

Cher, :) thank you, I like that one too.

Beverly, Thank you for stopping by.

Greyscale, thanks that's just what it reminded me of, a motel :D

Lui, LOL we will all reserve a room :D

maiaT, thanks so much for stopping by as always. Very much appreciated.

leavesinbloom, LOL! Thank you.

Ann, these were taken at the Botanical Gardens here in SF thank God, so I don't have all those bees around :)

Ann, :) I know they look like part of the flower unless you really look closely.

Carmen, that was a fun day. These shots were all taken on different days. That tendril was just so exotic, I had to get a shot of it.

Icy, you know I love doing those macros. Sometimes they turn out well and many times they don't. Thanks :)

BJ, LOL I'm not sure I'd want to spend the night there :)

Jean, thanks so much.

Flower town, yeah they are pretty cool to see. Thanks for stopping by.

fini, they were so busy, they didn't even notice me :)

NatureFootstep, absolutely, it opens a new world not seen before.

Tricia, thanks so much and you have a great weekend too.
