We noticed this Bumble Bee loaded full with pollen climbing a small gravel bank.
Was his load to heavy for him to fly?
Further up the bank he clambered clearly on mission.
Ahhh, mission revealed, a small sip of water from along this gravel bank was what he climbed up for.
Clearly this bee knows hydration is key for a hard days work in the sun.
A few quick sips and off he flew to deliver his goods to the hive.
beautiful shots ❤
Thanks Shelia, hope your week is off to a wonderful start.
Unusual capture of a bee at a water source. We always think of them as nectar sippers!
Hi Eliza, it is interesting how often we see bees getting drinks at small water sources like these.
Interesting and different type of insect shots. Well done indeed.
Thanks, it was fun to watch this guy going about his business.
