One of the benefits of having a garden is being able to go out during the spring and summer months and pluck bouquets to give as gifts. I was going to a birthday dinner today, and decided to grab a bouquet of spanish lavender.

Today was sunny and warm, and the bees were out in full force. This lavender that I planted from a gallon pot has in a couple of short years grown into a beautiful mountain of a plant, and the bees today were very happily buzzing from flower to flower.

I became mesmerized, dropped my shears and all thought of making a bouquet and grabbed my camera. I started snapping pictures like mad, and after a while felt kind of like I was intruding on some sex act. Some hot bee on flower action. I didn't get stung thankfully, but it was kind of funny that I felt like a porn photographer snapping these pictures.

I think my favorite bee is the smallish fuzzy bumblebee with orange markings:


I like the backlighting of the bee on this one, and check out its gams. Mee-yow!



And this one's nice, because it looks like the bee on the left is buzzing away from a trist with that other bee and the flower:
