I have to say you inspired me with your bee entry in the contest. I've been watching these bumblebees since the coleus started flowering in late summer. I've been too lazy to get my camera out and see what I could capture. Plus, it's been hot and quite sunny in the late afternoon there when the bees are attracted to the coleus, which sits in shade most of the day. Not the best light --too bright --when the most bees have been working the flowers. Today was perfect.
