Buzz off

Nice one Paul. Wandering around a formal garden last week, I noticed that different species of flowers attract markedly different species of bees. Suppose I shouldn't be surprised. 😁

Well done you Paul, like this bee (great wings)!

Nicely done Paul 😊

Well done Paul. An observation on watching Bees on my Sweet Peas where the pollen and nectar is enclosed in the closed up keel of the flower, some Bees push the two parts of this keel apart with their back legs and the slide backwards right into the keel . Amazing creatures.

Love bees and love your painting Paul, especially the way you have presented it. Glad you didn’t crop those wonderful deckled edges off! Some bumblebees have long tongue’s and some have short tongue’s, that determines which flowers they feed from. The short tongue bees cheat though, they cut little holes near the food source and feed from outside the flower! If you have any Aquilegia flowers in your garden you will see the evidence, there will be a small hole at the base of the flower.

Lovely bee Paul!

Well done, Paul.

Good one Paul.

Well thank you, Andrew, Heather, Stephen, George, Fiona, Sarah and Mia, for your very kind comments. Fiona thank thank you for the information on bees feeding habits . I painted this after watching the bees in the garden and because I have found it difficult concentrating this week , it was done quite quickly and I honestly didn’t expect such a good response.

Thank you Christine, we must have been writing at the same time I really appreciate your comment.

Ahh beautiful Bumble 😍

Lovely buzzy pic.

Very nicely done!

Very well done Paul.

Gorgeous bee 🐝
