As a Bee keeper,I watch these beautifull creatures,as they bury there heads into the flower,coming out with there faces & bodies at times covered in pollen,but still putting more into there pouches in there legs,,yes as they lift there heads to fly ,they almost look like they have a smile on there face ,can't wait to trlllell the rest of the colony as to where she found this gold mine,of the makings of honey,,,,Honey Bees are so interesting to watch,,,as they land on a flower sometimes bumping into a Butterfly,or an insect ,but there is always room for one more,,,,Pollen & Nectar are very sticky so it just gravitates to there body,,sometimes when they are in flight going home ,they look like a Bumble bee Round & wobbly,,,
Just look @ her busy as a BEE,gathering nectar & pollen for her family,then make Honey from it,what a wonder ,how amazing,,as she fills her pouches in her legs with pollen,sometimes so heavy they wobble as they take off,coming into there Homes,there hives from the East direction,,,yes this little girl in her life time of 4 to 5 months gathers enough pollen & nectar to maybe make a spoonful of honey,in her life time she flys approx,3 to 5 thousand miles,,,in her life time time she touches on approx 8,000 flowers,,,,,,,they are so threatened by our poisons ,without them ,well put it this way they are ONE of the pollinators of this world,without them ,well maybe we would not exist,,they are our treasures,,,,,enjoy the beauty around us,thank you for sharing this Magnificent photo
