Good capture with the bee! I just love to see those crocuses each spring.

@Anita: They were really late in our area this year, for a while I thought they weren't going to bloom! I was amazed to see the bee this early!

Ken from Cebu City, Philippines

Beautiful colors! But the bees look dead though from this perspective.

3 Apr 2008 9:26am

@Ken: The bee was very much alive, and moving fast! But, you are right. Believe me, he was crawling all over that flower and moving to the next!

njsux from Shrewsbury, NJ, United States

Nice. Don't think we've seen any bees down here yet.

3 Apr 2008 9:29am

@njsux: Thanks. I was amazed because we only see bumble bees in this area, and to see a honey bee the last week of March was a surprise!
