[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture is actually should come before my last post Colourful sex, in this picture you can see how the male 'seduce' the female with a bee :) , the female is waiting patiently until the male is coming with a bee and then he is preparing the bee for the female, that means that he is 'banging' the bee against the rock/branch to neautralize her sting so the female should not work hard and just eat the bee after getting it from the male.

this picture, as I said in my former post Landing with tiny passanger..., was also in my wishlist and I am glad that I succeeded to catch this situation.
This picture is one from a serious that I caught that day, I hope that you will like it.

Full description you can find in my former post European Bee-eater.
