Pretty Little, Busy Little Bees

Just a few shots of my girls in action. I love it when I can catch them coming in for a landing, loaded with pollen.

Those are pollen baskets on their legs, filled with yummy yellow goodness.

Usually I'm there in the evenings, so I don't get to see a lot of pollen. By that time, the gals are coming back to roost and build wax for the night, but here, before noon on a sunny day, I see lots and lots of brood food coming in.

Coming in for a coordinated tandem landing.

They remind me of tiny little F-18s coming in for a landing on an aircraft carrier. They wobble side to side, hover a little, and then just drop right down. Maybe that's more like a Harrier.  I'll have to ask my dad.

Meanwhile, on BeeTV, one little undertaker bee is trying like hell to get the bottom half of a dead bee out the door. She pushes, pulls and goes around in circles, then she just says "f*** it!" and leaves it there. Nobody else seems to care it's there, so why should she?

Ok, that's enough for today. It's time for me to focus on the Stanley Cup Final game 6. I'm officially torn, but I heard myself cheering for the Hawks when they broke the tie in game 5.
