Bees & wet Roses, not recommended...

Paul Iddon

...well, not a good time to be a bee I suppose.

The rain does them no favours, and even if they come out looking for nectar then the wet conditions certainly do not favour them. Kudos to bees for trying though!

A quick trip into the heart of a rose yields only wetness and probably no food. Poor bee.


C&C as always.

Perhaps not recommended, but it makes a nice photo.

I am in an arid high mountain area, and I think the bees enjoy the water as much as the pollen. :-)

Thanks BC.

In England, when it rains, they usually disappear as fast as the photographers do!

Good shot Paul. It does look a little forlorne though.. hehe. Still, climb underneath and all would be well I expect

There was a single bee flying around yesterday when I was out in the rain..

Thanks Ronny, the web sharpened image looks good.

Clarky - I saw two others when this was out and about, but they flew out of the garden.
