Yellow petals bright,
Bee cannot resist its charm,
Drawn by sweet desire.

A close-up photograph of a vibrant purple spiderwort flower with three delicate petals and prominent yellow stamens. A small, dark-colored sweat bee is positioned on one of the petals, actively foraging. The flower is captured against a soft, blurred green background of natural foliage, showcasing the intimate pollinator-plant relationship in a natural habitat along Spa Creek in Annapolis, Maryland.

Field research in Ecuador was one of my favorite parts of my life, and I hate sweatbees forever.

sweatbees can’t even hurt you! but they are so so so annoying

I feel like anyone who is immersed in the roughing it part of nature long enough, even if they love it, eventually feels like Darwin at one point when they're feeling shitty and cranky: "Fuckin'...fuckin' BEES. God, I'm SO SICK OF BEES. Fuck you. FUCK YOU, BEES."

Male bicolored striped sweat bee / hibiscus

(Agapostemon virescens)

Only from September, yet already last season. Yes, wistful.

Male bee with green eyes and black false pupils, square photo focused on the bee’s head and right eye in the center, yellow mandibles, orange segmented antennae, with one antenna jutting straight out above the eye toward us, and one bent toward the middle right side of the frame, yellow legs standing on the back petals of a bent pink hibiscus flower with noticeable white pollen spheres, and some stuck to the bee.

White, lavender, and plum chives in and out of focus taking up the upper right half the photo, divided roughly diagonally, with the bee vertically oriented, its face and most of its legs buried within the chives, only part of its right eye exposed, along with the right side of its green metallic thorax, black and white abdomen, wings including their tips folded neatly down behind, and its right rear leg, setae-covered, stretching down over the signature toward the bottom right corner.
