Subject: First bug-hunt of 2012
There's a tree outside our kitchen window that's so rich with pollen right now that every morning, before the sun burns all living things, it's loudly humming with the entire Queensland bee population.
So I went out and took some photos of the action. Click for larger versions.
Here's a bee with saddle-bags of pollen glued to his legs:
And here he is again, having had enough of my massive camera all up in his face:
I'm not really sure what this is, but he's happily sucking on a very pretty flower in my front yard:
And finally, your NFGphoto public service warning:
Nature is trying to eat you. Beware.
