Honey bee (Apis Mellifera)

" Oh what a glorious thing to be a healthy grown up busy , busy bee ..... " - Arthur Askey - Busy Bee Song.

A bee chooses its approach and landing site within a poppy flower in my garden.

These poppies suddenly appeared one year in my garden and thankfully have given a show every year since albeit short lived.
The richness of their colour is beautiful and the bees love them while they last.

LOL I've not heard that song for yonks.... I'll be singing it all night now!!!

That's a wonderfully sharp flight picture, with a lovely colourful flower there too.

Excellent work here John - very well done.

Poppies are one of my favourite flowers and lovely to see them attracting the bees in your garden, John.
