Andy close your eyes! That is one HUGE bee. UGH I do not like when bees come near me. I would be afraid to get close to one like that.

Look, I think he is sticking his tongue out at us... cheeky bee!
Nice pic, its not often you will be able to get that close for sure. Do that to some african killer bees down south and be prepared to run for miles. They aggressively defend their space, and look at someone walking into it as an intruder and can attack.
I loved living down south, but I love winters for one reason... none of those freaky bugs or snakes or spiders up here.

Trust me, My eyes are firmly shut!!!!!!!!!
The reason I like a good strong winter i.e. heavy frosts etc is because if we dont get a bad winter, the little creatures survive to last another year! That's double the amount we should have.
Ah well, off to the shop now to buy some more wasp/bee killer spray

All that's made up for by the mosquitoes though. They make it through anything. I bet if we had a nuclear fallout they'd last even longer than the cockroaches.Originally Posted by jerryph

Already proven that the last remaining thing that would survive would be cockroaches. The next species to take over the earth are big walking, talking, evolved bugs!

Is this Virginia Bluebells? I've seen fields of them but never up close. Great capture, by the way...glad you didn't disturb him.

A good meal is not produced by high priced utensils, it is produced by a fine cook.
Ordinary bees take quite a lot of pushing around before they get aggressive. I've literally pushed a bee off a flower and though likely a little insulted, it did not do anything more than slowly fly away to another flower to continue his work.
Other kinds of bees can get aggressive, though.

A Bee will only sting if it is threatened etc because once a bee stings you it then dies. However a wasp can sting many times without dying! Hense why wasps are more annoying!
