"Two Bee or Not Two Bee"

I know that blog post title is a groaner, I couldn't help myself. (Click to enlarge.)

I had been at a bus stop on Saturday morning, snapping pics of one, then another bee, in the roses. Both ended up on the same one for a moment, a brief bee tussle ensued, then both went on their way.

Two other snapshots are below, single bee only. It was very windy, so it was hard to get a pic in focus. I snapped 33, kept the best 6 of the lot, which doesn't say much. LOL.
 
Still, it's always fun to watch them, they're completely intent on their jobs, seemingly oblivious to me or the camera. Come to think of it, they're better models than my cats!  :-)

Peace.

Bumbles are always a joy to watch!

LOL! I was just thinking the same how they're models than Annie. These pictures are happy. I love the color of the flowers and see the bees doing their business.

Great snaps Kim! Never have seen two bees in one flower.
Take care!

Awesome photos! I've never seen two bees in one flower either.

I love these! Awesome!

They are! I'm a bit scared of them, of anything that can sting, but really, they're so focused on what they're doing.
Kea said…
I never thought of the pics as "happy" pics, but you're right. It's lovely to watch them at work.
Kea said…
I was surprised too! Maybe that flower was especially enticing.
Kea said…
Thanks. They're not as sharp as I'd like, but with the wind and the little p&s...shrug.
Kea said…
Thanks, I was at the right bus stop at the right time. LOL.

I love the play on words. I need to be more vigilant about deleting all those extra photos.
Lots of bumble bees this year. Nice shots =)
I get nervous about insects that sting, though, too!

Nicely done, Kim! Bees are so hard to photograph ... they are always busy and moving! :)

I like bees a lot. And Bumble bees are my favorite.
Kea said…
If I kept every pic I took I'd be in big trouble. LOL. I usually take at least several (sometimes dozens) of pics of essentially the same thing, maybe slightly different angles, and keep only what I like best.
Kea said…
Actually, I worry more that the boys will get stung, because they don't know enough to keep away when the bees are in our garden. They just think, Ooohhhh, flying prey!
Kea said…
For really good pics I would at least need a better camera and a tripod. But I don't mind, I've never claimed to be a photographer. LOL. So I'm happy when I get decent, or half-decent snapshots. :-)
Kea said…
They're pretty neat to look at and to watch, aren't they? :-)
these are great shots Kim; wonder if one is saying to the other...hey, go get your own flower !! :) ♥♥
Kea said…
Probably! Though perhaps in more colourful "bee" language. :-)

Thanks for stopping by!

Truly busy bees, so dedicated they will fight for their pollen supply. Good pictures. You don't see a pair of them in the same blossom much. And when a pun works, it works!
Kea said…
I can't recall every catching two in one flower, so it was neat. I guess they're just like any other species: ready to fight for resources!
