The other day I saw a yellow flash land in a nice cedar tree. Thinking it was an unusual insect I quickly went over to get a look. Alas, it was not a new insect but a Honey Bee and to say this one was covered in pollen might be an understatement. This little bee could hard fly with the load they had acquired. After a few minutes of rest they slowly lifted off and headed back to the hive. A job well done.

The mother lode! I hope she earned a day off. Lucky find … glad your eye was keen and your camera ready.

He does look to have been quite ambitious. Might need to pick up a little more to snack on so he has the energy t make it back to the hive.

It would have been interesting to have dusted this guy off and weighed his load of pollen. I wonder what proportion of body weight it was.

Definitely a heavy load!

Almost as heavy as that little guy himself.

A wonderful and most unusual capture Mike! Looks like he’s had a pollen bath – well done little bee!

HI Jude, I am now sure this bee could pick up a single molecule more of that yellow pollen.
