Yes I think you got one. You can count hairs on him so I'd say you nailed it pretty well. Love that pollen bag on his side

Excellent, John. I like the excellent view of the bee and the the way it is surrounded by the flowers. Nice light on the bee. I am curious about the small stamen (?) suspended in mid air in the LLC. I guess the bee was not the only flying object you captured.

Scott and John, thank you for your comments. There was a good breeze blowing and the flowers were dropping petals and other peices. The bees were not around today, will see if they come back.
