Are you conjuring beautiful bees at will? How thrilling that your second bee for the season is such a beauty. Such fresh vivid colours.

Thankyou Imogen...

I think everything is sick of the long winter and coming out to play !

That blossom looks lovely in this excellent macro, Pam. Everything is a little early over here too.

Thankyou Dave.... and stuff is late here !

Very good Pam! Love how shiny the bee's green is compared to the leaves. Great job on such a tough subject!

Thankyou Jim !

Thankyou Peggy !

Hugssssssss

Nice, with a very beautiful color, Pam.
Have a nice weekend.

Thankyou John ! ........you too !

Super macro.

Thankyou Jaap !

I've never seen a bee in anything other than the traditional black and yellow jumper. This iridescent one is terrific. Well done.

Thankyou John !

I hadnt seen these either till I came here..... thy are about a third the size of a honey bee.

merci Dany !

Merci Jeanne !

SO LOVELY, Pam!!! You have the best luck with these gorgeous little Sweat Bees, they are stunning. The flower here is just as pretty. NICE PICTURE!! :D

Seedling update: I continue to get popped Maxi Sunnies, I think there about 25 of them or so, about half a dozen "False Sunnies", and my friend's Irish Eyes, I have I think 4 now. The rest are all duds so far--Mimosa, Mule Ears, something else, can't remember the name! I'm delighted though, YAY!!!

Thankyou janet..

These are not Sweat Bees actually... those are alot smaller than these bees are.. here anyway..and they are around.. just.. but very different here.

Seed update from here.. both your types of Milkweed are coming up.. as is the Threadleaf.. and I sowed all the Poppies today. My false Sunnie are a haze of seedlings everywhere .

EXCITING!!!!! SO HAPPY that you are getting some success!! HOORAY!!!!! :D

Very cool insect

Thankyou Sanna !

Gorgeous capture! Love the bee's color!

They are tiny and very placid.

I've never seen green bees before. They are rather attractive.
