        A lovely sunny, clear day with the skies awash with bees and flutterbyes today.
        They all flocked here today

                These two pics were shot in haste so are a bit out but if you look carefully the large Bee is keeping the smaller Bee away from the pollen by holding it down with one of it's legs.:snork:

                      Just been home for my dinner and the Fennel is swarming with about 50 odd swarmy things, here's a pic i had to get:

                      20130806_113641.jpg 20130806_113631.jpg

                      What is it please? I'm guessing it's not a bee or wasp, but an insect that impersonates them?
