One morning recvently Mrs. F.G. saw some bees apparently resting in the blooms of our Mexican Sunflower, or Tithonia the other day and went out to get some pictures.
These bees did give the impression they were sleeping, or am I anthropomorphizing them too much?!
As far as I know they sleep like that.
ReplyDeleteThey do appear to be sleeping. Kinda cute.
ReplyDeleteThey do look like they were sleeping and perhaps they were. What fantastic close up photos!!!
ReplyDeleteFilled with nectar, time to snooze.
ReplyDeleteGreat close-up pictures.
ReplyDeleteIn the summer, the bees 'overnight' in the pumpkin and squash blooms like that.
ReplyDeleteSuper pics!
Great photos and pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteI'm positive they are sleeping, or in other words in a pollen coma. :p
ReplyDeletecute! anthromorphizing??? holy cow! 🤣🤣 Methinks you threw that in there on purpose to make me scratch my head!!
ReplyDeleteSleeping? Perhaps, but probably chilled enough to enter a state of torpor until they warm-up enough to become active.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little late getting here but you got some great bee pictures there. Good stuff/
ReplyDeleteGreat close-ups.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
