Bumble Bee - sometimes it's a tight squeeze

These are Runner Bean flowers (nice to know that the insects are doing their job!), and the bee was having a good old visit, although with the breeze it was difficult to get the focus.

What great definition and wonderful lighting there, Louise - almost Rembrandt-like in the chiaroscuro!

Thanks, Catherine, that's what drew me to the sight - the sun was on its way down and making the flowers glow.. who needs plants that only flower when you can get such beauty from veg-producing plants

Missed this photo, love runner bean flowers, most underrated. Excellent combination of lots of detail on the bee and vibrant colour of the flower.
