Not a honey bee (Apis mellifera) but an Australian native bee, Trichocolletes sp. on flowering Bossiaea scolopendria. #nativebee #wildoz #australianbees

I think this is a #nativebee and its name might be the #longhornedbee ? It’s so relaxing just watching them do there thing. I’m grateful that this one was focused on lunch so I could capture its portrait. :-) #macromonday #macrophotography

Shear luck. I was focused where the bee was. Yet still came out focused enough.
