When it cools down they almost hibernate for awhile. When we picked berries in June the bees would be like that early in the morning. Neat shot anyway. MB
Great shot whether dead or alive. It wouldn't surprise me if it was still alive. I have seen flies that were lying on their backs with legs sticking straight up be revived when they warm up. Not sure if the same thing applies to bees :)
cute either way.

I noticed a very slow-moving bee on a flower the other day, and asked the same question.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot the way the insect in the flower. It may be died or alive it looks beautiful...
ReplyDeleteThe nectar must be incredibly yummy so it didn't want to move. ;) (Well, maybe.)
