What’s that sound I hear?
Buzzing round the lavender
Busy little bee!

Bee on Lavender 2
This is the Cape honey bee, Apis mellifera capensis, indigenous to South Africa.
Bees are one insect that I am happy to have in my garden; along with Ladybirds of course.

Pollinate away my tiny friend.
post script: I was pretty chuffed with these close ups, (Let’s ignore the several blurred ones that I deleted!) taken with my trusty Canon point and click camera.

Bees work harder than any creature I know of — as a beekeeper I can attest. Love them!

How do you get the stop action without blur? Do you use a tripod?

Pollination is alive and well in your garden!! Yaayyyy! Fantastic close-ups. His wings look like sheer gold!!
I’ve tried lavender plants, but with no success. Maybe I’ll try again next year. I just love them.

This is my third lavender bush in a few decades! I think they have a finite life . . . Well in my garden they do! 😀
