Melissa

With it being Melissa's birthday today this seemed an apt choice given the association between Melissa and bees.
"In Greek mythology, Melissa (Greek: Μέλισσα) the "bee"-nymph, daughter of King Melisseus ("bee-man"),
nursed Zeus when he was an infant, feeding him the milk of the goat Amalthea. She later taught humans
the use of honey, which could be fermented!!"

Nikon D70s
1/500s f/11.0 at 90.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Wow Dave, this is a really great shot.
The Clarity is fantastic, From the shadow of the bee on the petals
to the pollen that has fallen off because of the bee landing.
Big Vote here.
