Default Messy Bee

Not quite sure which type of Bee this is, but he certainly gets stuck into his work.

Nice capture
It looks like it is a Honey Bee Rolf. I could be wrong but it does look like it to me
The flower bee is lighter

Equipment: Nothing but my notebook which is one of the most important parts of birding. To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.

This is quite something of a photograph Rolf. Have never seen anything the likes of this before, an excellent record of a 'bee' up to more than its neck in 'work'.

Pete.
