A hollyhock near home seen during an evening ramble. The flower seems to have pollen to spare, but there were only a few bees around to enjoy it.

I hung around some hollyhocks, hoping that a bee would come to gather some pollen, but there were no takers while I was there. Perhaps the bees were put off by my hanging around.

The hollyhocks that grow near my home produce a variety of colours, from pale yellow to deep red. This one appeared to be asking me for a close-up.

For several summers I have enjoyed taking photos of the hollyhocks that grow against the wall of a building near where I live. It is a pleasant time in the evening when the wind has died down. However, this year I've noticed that there are no bees collecting pollen, as compared to previous years. It is concerning.

Just a short walk from my home several hollyhock plants grow along the south-facing wall of a building. The plants grow to more than two metres tall, and produce yellow, red and pink flowers. On warm evenings bees are busily collecting pollen, but they are elusive. This is a good second-best.

I attempted several times to achieve a really close-up image of this hollyhock blossom. This was the best of those many attempts.

There is a profusion of hollyhocks near my home. On warm summer evenings the bees are busy gathering pollen, but they are a challenge to photograph before they move on to the next blossom.

On summer evenings the hollyhocks near my home are alive with bees collecting pollen, to the point where they appear to be overloaded. The bees move quickly, so achieving a relatively sharp image is a challenge.

On summer evenings bees are attracted to a stand of hollyhocks near where I live. This bee seems to have found a plentiful source of pollen.

A bee at work inside a hollyhock flower a two-minute walk from my home. A profusion of hollyhock plants grow along a wall at the end of a group of townhouses.

This bumblebee stayed in one place long enough for me to get a good image of him working away in his natural setting.

Bees busy collecting pollen move quickly. Capturing images of them at work requires quick reflexes and some luck. This unusually large bee appeared to be resting on the underside of a hollyhock flower, so I was able to capture several images while it remained motionless.
takeoff or landing?

I can't remember if the bee was taking off from the flower, or landing. I'm happy to capture the action.
