Day 197 : where's the fuzz?

I'm still stalking bees, they do pose an interesting challenge. They don't linger long on the particular chosen flower and there's the added jeopardy they might sting. This is a honey bee, I prefer bumble bees because I like their stripy, fluffy coats. My favourite little bedtime rhyme when I was little was “Bertie the bee had a musical buzz and a bright yellow jacket of velvety fuzz...” My love of bees has remained. I grabbed a few shots of bumble bees today but they were deep inside a flower so I only got an enticing shot of a velvety bottom but I wanted a more equivocal bee picture. So a honey bee it would have to be!
