Carpenter Bee on Bok Choy Blossoms

I guess I missed harvesting the bok choy before it bolted. It was planted mid-April and doesn't like warm weather.

The carpenter bee is happy it's bolted. It's such a large bee that sometimes it weighs down the blossoms, though not in this case.

Gorgeous macro. Bees account for over 25% of all our food, no bees means no apples or anything else that needs pollinating to grow. etc.

Wonderful photo of this bee and flowers. Tack sharp detail and placement of the bee in the frame. V
