My Tiny Garden - Echeveria Agavoides and a bee.
Seems that my blooming succulents attract bees.
One bee to be exact. This little furry and fatty one. She really enjoyed those Echeveria blooms. I was watching her every morning for about 2 or 3 weeks until the flowers dried up. Once she brought a friend, but I guess it didn't like it as much.

Strange creature this one. It is more shy than the regular honey bee. It gets scared very easily so I couldn't get very close. Honey bees dont care about camera pointing at them.

This one also flies a lot faster and can freeze in the air almost like a hummingbird :)
See?

I also had Kalanchoe blooming at that time, but those weren't her favourite.
In the back you can see thick, green Gasteria leaves.

Nice to have them around :) I don't get any pretty butterflies here, so I enjoy all the other creatures.

Very good photography.upvoted
Thank you very much :)
Such fabulous shots of the beautiful flowers and of course the bee,
WOW Catching it in mid air that is impressive
Have a great day
Catching her flying was kind of an accident. She was sitting on a flower and then few away while I pressed the button. She is really fast that way!
Thanks , you too JJ :)
Great series.
Thanks a lot!
She's fatty because she is alone in all these flowers :) But look, she can fly! Nice capture :)
She STILL can fly! ;)
Thanks!
So fluffy! 😍
Yeaaaa pity she is not bigger... we could have a pet :)
beautiful
Thank you :)
What lovely little flowers and such great captures of the bees! Coming back for this!
Thank you! Pity she doesn't like other flowers... those are done blooming and the bee is gone too :(
Its getting sad here too Ewa. Brown from rain and almost all flowers are gone....😐
Awww at least you have some refreshing rain. Here it all dries up. Not my plants, because I water them. But all the wild areas... all dry and yellow.
Yes, hence all the fires in the south of Europe 😐
Yup :(
We have a fire station on my street and I hear them going out pretty often lately..
