Hyménoptères Aculeate of the family of Apidae, like the domestic Bee. The Bumblebees produce a kind of honey and pile up for their larvae of pollen ; their behavior of butinage in fact of the invaluable auxiliaries for the agriculture (plants entomogames), whose role can be reinforced by the breeding.

Very good shot with excellent detail. Personally I think you could have gone for a loser vertical crop as the image has ample sharpness.

Very well done and thanks for posting

Belle prise de vue de ce bourdon, aurait mérité un petit coup de zoom? Vous avez oublié de dire que ce bourdon butine de la lavande( pour nos amis qui n'ont pas la chance d'en avoir)
Coincidence ou saison des bourdons? J'ai posté ces jours ci le même insecte sur TN.
Bonne continuation.

Very good shot I like the noise on this one.
Well done.

Also wish to add an alarming bit of news about bees! Recent reports on unusually high beekills suggest that perhaps cell phones are to blame.
Are we ignorantly committing Apidae-cide?

Like you I like these humblebees which have tricks regular honeybees do not have.

Excellent PoV here of the bee on these flowers. It shows us so much more than just another photo of another insect... bee, b'fly, bug, what have you... Tfs, Jay
