Spring is around the corner. I noticed this week when I looked through our kitchen window how busy the bees were collecting pollen from the blossoms on our lemon and orange trees.
Honey bees, what beautiful little creatures!
Hard at work...
Sweet and healthy honey...!
Relaxing in our garden with a delicious cup of hot tea and lemon...

Oh man, Ingrid, these macros are INCREDIBLE! And you are so brave getting near these bees! I wish we could sit and have tea together. :D
ReplyDeleteI am speechless...your photos are stunning. The bees are so clear and exact not to mention the flowers. I can almost visualize the fragrance and the buzzing of the bees hard at work. So looking forward to your next post...Cheers! Sophie's Dad Ron wants to thank you for joining her little blog!
