This is a hard working little honey bee. Notice the size of the pollen sac on her leg.

See the world up close visit Macro Monday.

Great photo. The honey bees have been hiding around our house this year. See the big bumbles a lot though.

Awesome little critter. Where would we be without our pollinating friends?

That's a GREAT shot. I tried to get a really great shot of some bees working away on the corn. No way did I get anything as close as this one. Ok, I'm jealous. :D
