Bumble bee (Bombus) in hosta flower

This fat little bumblebee squeezed herself into a number of hosta flowers seeking pollen. YOu can see the orange pollen sacs on her legs at the edge of the flower's opening.

The detail of the wings is magnificent, a different perspective on their architecture. V

Very humorous shot! I hope she wasn't stuck! V

She is so busy she doesn't even know you are inches away. What a shot.
