So... tired... (Bombus lapidarius)

A very tired bumblebee queen. It was cold that morning, but she was sitting conveniently inside a huge blooming shrub. After half an hour, she started to crawl around and fed off the blossoms, and then she took wing again. She (or someone very similar) returned to that shrub a couple of times that day.

First time I've seen a bee with a defeated look! Amazing quality!
