Magical Mystical Beeuties
A recent native bee in the afternoon, a Leaf Cutter. They are dying off rapidly, numbers are way down from a month ago. Not inclined to intrude on them so much now, don’t want to affect their behaviour at the critical time of roosting at their favoured places with the predators about, Wasps and Dragonflies. Wonder if they will rebound, as nature does.
Of course, as sun shines, rain falls, grass grows. Of course.
That’s the fact, everything returns.
Behind is the wonder, the beauty, the inscrutable impulse of primordial intelligence to form as a bee. To amaze, entertain and remind of a wordless place that may be called home, or peace, inside.

Hello Jamiun, and thank you.
Pets? Why not? You can make your place bee friendly with places to nest and roost and feed. See here : http://www.aussiebee.com.au/
Those bees are softly lit and and can bee themselves in your series.
Really like the shades of hairs and the pattern in their eyes.
You can tell life has started wearing on their wing tips.
Hope they’ll be back in numbers when the time is right so you can show us more of them.
Cheers
James
Hello James. The numbers are right down now, from 20 or so a couple months ago to 3 last time I looked. But they’ll be back, and there’s always something else to see.
Amazing photos!
Thanks DD.

Thank you Rudolf.
Beautiful Shots. Bees are my friend’s. Used bee venom therapy for 3 years as a treatment for MS.
Thanks Dian. I heard cannabis is good for MS. Bees are beautiful creatures, furry messengers of fertility.
