I was checking for bad bugs when I saw this bumblebee sleeping in a zucchini blossom. There was a bad bug on the blossom too and it moved further into the blossom when it saw me. The bad bug woke up the bumblebee and the bee started climbing out of the blossom and that is when I took this photograph. This is a drowsy, damp bumblebee.

I think that the one I had on my flowers this summer was sleeping as well. I never thought about how or where bees slept.

Oh my Donna the hair on the flower!! I can get over the clarity of your photographs. Awesome!! Poor little bumblebee. I imagine the FL bees look a lot like him right now.

What beautiful awesome photos. What kind of a camera do you use?? I would love to be able to take photos like this.
Donna says
Thank you Marilyn. I use a point and shoot camera, the Canon Powershot SD1100IS. We have the blue one.
A lot of the photographs were taken with the Digital Macro setting.
