We have lots of these yellow flowers in our pasture and they are so sweet smelling!  They were covered in bees which I had fun photographing

Nice bee capture!

Pat's and my father used to raise bees.  This is reminiscent of those days.  Well taken thank you for this!

Lovely to see the bee, Susan. 

Was the sun really bright?  It's difficult sometimes due to bright sun to capture these lovely workers.

Thanks everyone!

The picture was taken on an overcast day without a flash.

How close did you get to the bees?  I've been stung often enough that I try to keep a good distance.   

You probably haven't been stung by honey bees, Jeanne.  So many people call nearly all buzzing insects "bees" and they aren't.  Honey bees hardly ever sting unless you are in their "highway" at the front of their hive or if you crush one when putting the lid on the hive.  LOL

I used to love just leaning on the back of the hive watching all of their antics.  Sometimes I'd go to the apiary we had on the way home from work just to relax and watch.

Pat, I've never hung around long enough to identify the stingers!     (But I'll take your word for it that it probably wasn't honey bees.)

Lovely shot!

Thanks everyone!

I was pretty close to the bees, about maybe 1-1/2 foot.

Pat I remember those days.  Great way to unwind before going home.

This is a wonderful shot.
