When we were in Perth recently, I saw this lovely dog rose in the rain
Bees are struggling in the UK, due to loss of their habitats and the wildflowers that they feed on, alongside the detrimental effects of some pesticides. This survey will help scientists to track the state of the health of bees in the UK and hopefully help them out of their current predicament.
Learn to recognise the bees being surveyed and record those you see!

We know that bees are going hungry and homeless.
A big problem is the loss of their vital habitat, with 97% of
wildflower meadows gone in the past 60 years. - See more at:

Sometimes the "accidental" shots are the best ones. I was taking a photo of a sunset last week and a bird flew into the shot. I didn't see it until afterwards. It made for a beautiful picture :)
That's a great idea Juliet, I'm definately going to look into that survey. We have lots of different species visiting our messy wild garden, so it'll be interesting to take part.
1. Here we have that horrible Hive Collapse Disorder going on.
2. BUT you being photo bombed by a bee is very funny!
3. I once saw a swarming of bees going up the street. It was at least 15 feet tall and shaped like a small tornado.
What fun!
sweet! :)
I've just had a look at that bumblebee shot and it is stunning! A very serendipitous drop-in!
That bee looks so fuzzy and friendly. :) Nice "accidental" shot.
I'm reminded of the moment that led to this:
sun on the pond
the spread of a drake's wings
after mating
I had pointed my digital camera at a duck and drake swimming in the Serpentine in Hyde Park, but when I looked at what the camera had caught, there were duck and drake in flagrante delictu. Didn't take them any longer than it takes to click a pic. The haiku records the immediate aftermath.
Hi Juliet,
This is a lovely photo of the bee.
We were just watching a bee buzzing around the lavender today.
Happy weekend
hugs
Carolyn
Beautiful rose and your timing was perfect for the bee. Lovely shots. Have a happy weekend!
That's a magnificent shot! :-) Thanks.
Greetings from London.
The perfect photo bomber for a flower
