I like the plasterer bee. Awesome job catching his environment and eyes. The color is great, and always so crisp!

Brian,

Excellent set. The bumble bee "concentrating" (evapourating) is new to me. Honeybees do it in the hive.

They are lovely Brian - an insect we should cherish.

Thanks all for the comments - appreciated

Harold - it's the first time I've seen a bumble bee doing that. Often see other solitary bees doing it. I assume it is nectar concentration.
