I have heard that saying many times before, but now I think I really understand it.
In case you didn’t pick up on it… it’s been breezy here for a couple of weeks.
Here are a few from last night in a field between two construction dumpsters. MM

This guy was clamped on to this stem, mashing his stinger into it.

    Excellent series - lovely compositions/colour and light :)
    Seen pics of Australian bees roosting for the night like that but the stinger was not onvolved.

    Man, if I tried holding on to my bed like that, I'd wake up with a hell of a case of TMJ syndrome - and I ain't even going there with the stinger.

    Wonderful shots MM .... Loved the color and composition. Looks like you had some very cooperative subjects (or preoccupied at least)

    I've never seen a roosting bee. Great series. Do some more, please:D.

    P.S. I know exactly what you mean about a hole in the wind--I live in Kansas, and rarely is there a non-windy day, just less windy--ha!
