A bee with good taste

Taken at the Franciscan Monastery. I have a picture in which more of the bee is visible, but I just loved the flower in this one, so here it is.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

The one and only monastery butterfly, posted earlier:

very nice Helen, that's good if you have the flower so you can also see which habitat they use in this case the lantana flower of which they will only fly on the pink to purple for nectar. BV
