Fast Food
September 1

Office

I took about 48 macro shots of the Bees feeding on
the Asters (Helianthus, Doellingeria,and Veronia).
Many sharp shots in the mix but this motion blur w/
the hint of blue in the background kept jumping out.

My first entry for the Food and Restaurant September.

The bee takes it's food from the flower ...... then they produce honey ...... The perfect food!

Now we know why we call them busy bees...he's gonna blow a poofer valve if he doesn't slow down ;)

He gets his food and we get honey, nice work.

A good one. The energy of the bees. I think this is a nice challenge and you have really taken it to the ninth degree.
