The Bumble Bee In My Garden



This shot was taken in my garden, the bee is leaving a courgette flower.

I love Bumble Bees. It is only recently that scientists found out that their unique wing movement of creating updraft with both forward and rearward motions enables them to fly. Up until that discovery, it was considered a mystery how they could get airborne. Now man understands the incredible design that allows the 'impossible' to happen.
