Honey Bee and Ichneumon Wasp

IPClark

Ahh it seems our Sedum is now the plant of choice for the garden visitors with it's lovely pink flowers. The potentilla which was previously the haven has somewhat become second best (although the Hovers are still frequenting it).

Anyway, our Sedums (of which we have about 6 in the garden) were teeming with Honey Bees. Managed to get a shot that I like but was a touch difficult because they seem to like turning their backs to you as soon as you approach






Also, whilst following the bees, I noticed this rather nice Ichneumon Wasp flitting about. It eventually alighted on a sedum leaf and then let me coax it onto my hand.

Lovely captures -recently bought my first sedum which should flower shortly - a dwarf one only a couple of inches high.

Thank you Brian.

Very Nice re. the Sedum. We have about 6 in our garden now which amusingly started off as one single small plant. The largest is probably about 3ftx3ft now with the others around 2ftx2ft. The Honey bees are mad about ours

Very nice, good to get ichneumon shots
All sedums have died in my garden!

Yeah they're great little things. Was about 2 or 3 mins before it stopped for a rest
