Flower Power

---

Rediscovered my macro lens today.

A cute female flower bee taking a rest and warming up on the patio.

Time for a wash and brush up including making sure that you have a very clean tongue!

  

Now for a bit of a feed but she's got the attention of the local males....

The female makes a break for it but is followed by two males who are joined by a third.

 One of the males attempts to mate with the female whilst another is close by.

 The male successfully mates with the female and I leave them alone.
