Title: Bee on helenium
Post by: BoBn on August 25, 2009, 07:30:55 am
Her wings are still moving.  They were rapidly collecting nectar and pollen.  They were moving so quickly, that I had to take about 10 pictures to get one good one. You can see the dark orange pollen on her legs.

Hey, that gives me an idea.  How about really small balloons filled with helium glued to bees for use in finding feral hives.  Hmm.  Should at least get a good laugh watching a bee try to pull the balloon home.  LOL.

Bee-nuts, beautiful, beautiful shot.  I don't know what is wrong with some of our forum friends, helium, oh brother, smiling  ;) :) :) :).  Being a "flower girl", I knew right away that the word was "helenium" not "helium".  Giving you all a hard time, and you know who you are, smiling.    I grow a perennial (well it grows itself) called Gaillardia (Blanket Flower), it has very similar coloring to your flower and looks similar in petal growth.  The bees go nuts on it, and I am not exaggerating one little bit.  Anyways, beautiful, thanks for sharing.  Have that most awesome and wonderful day, great health.  Cindi
