Bees, Nectar & Honey
The bees were busy this past weekend collecting nectar from the flowers around our cottage. There are 3 different kinds of bees and/or wasps in the following photos. I'm not sure they all use the nectar they collect for making honey, but I think at least the fuzzy yellow one is a honey bee.
I have the hardest time with my macro lens getting what I want to be in focus, in focus. Between the bees moving, the flowers moving, and my camera moving (next time I must try the tripod) it is a challenge. While it looks like I have some decent photos, these are the best of about the 50 that I took!
"How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!"
Psalm 119:103 NIV

While I was leisurely taking photos of bees and flowers, my husband was as "busy as a bee" cutting the lawn, spreading grass seed, hauling away dead tree branches and cleaning out the eavestroughs. And this was all after doing a 10km run! I figured he at least deserved to have his picture on this week's blog!
