You've captured beautifully the acrobatic life of a bee. How their tiny brains can figure out how to feed on all the different flower conformations is one of life's miracles.

The bee is one of the most intriguing little creatures. And as Arctangent mentioned, acrobatics amongst its talents. Wonderful captured moment with great backdrop. 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝

She reminds me of a gymnast on the uneven bars! Hilarious!
Thank you all for the likes, comments and acorns! It is sometimes difficult to get a good picture of a bee because they seem to be constantly in motion when visiting a flower.

I agree I spent all summer capturing bees this year, it became rather an obsession. So fun to watch their little gymnastic selves, delving, circling, dropping, using the wings for balance…fascinating!
