Aerodynamically the bumble bee shouldn’t be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn’t know it, so it goes on flying anyway

Again, I was stalking my lilac bush, watching for any and all creatures that care to visit. This time I captured what I think is a bee (I’m no expert) but a bee I will call it. What is fascinating are the two tiny pollen ‘baskets’ that it has filled up to the brim! I wonder how it manages to carry all that?
ooooh you’re right – I love this bee shot. Beautiful composition.
Great capture, so I’m not the only one who stalks the bushes looking for insects. Love the shot of yellow amongst the lilac flowers. Great quote too.
what a great capture! the lilacs are the perfect background for this little bee.
the lilacs make a great color combo with those tiny little pollen sacs!!!! He will soon be a weary traveler! LOL Great shot!
Hi!
Awesome shot! He does look a little on the heavy side with all that pollen. Have a great day!

great bee shot! love the colors.
Wow — that’s really neat! I haven’t seen pollen sacs before up close like that. :) Thanks for sharing!
That’s beautiful. Actually I posted on the same thing but changed my photos. Glad I did because yours is definitely much better.
What a great shot. It´s amazing how much weight they can catch and even fly! LG Tina
I noticed all of that pollen right away, what a great capture! Love the lilacs too!
Totally random, but every time I see your blog title, Milk Chan pops into my head singing “Behind the Times”. Guess I need to catch up.
This is an incredible shot. I had my husband come and look and he was impressed–not always the case with my blog interests. But this time he agreed with me that it was outstanding.
Stunning capture, I am in love with the pollen…amazing!!!
Barb, This is wonderful! What a great capture. And yes, in my humble opinion, I believe it’s a bee. : )

Your lilacs are lovely and so is that capture of the bee! :)
Enthralled with the pollen-layden legs on the bee. Great shot, Barb! :)
Great shot! You can clearly see its heavy load.
