Shining oil digger bee - Centris nitida, its head deep into Angelonia angustifolia. A new feature for Bee Safari! Courtesy of a winter pollinator safari last week at the beautiful Bok Tower Gardens in central Florida. An underrated treasure of America for sure and not just for its winter bees. There are many butterflies too, oh yes, and a gorgeous tower.

The beloved orchard mason bee, visiting...mud. Got to get the masonry materials somewhere.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#orchardmasonbee #masonbee #osmialignaria #natgeoyourshot #mat_macro_bees https://www.instagram.com/p/BrmMw4gh5HH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15rtr4885v2ft

Raspberry bee hotel (Osmia aglaia). Each nest is capped with finely chewed bits of plant leaves. However plant preference must be a personal matter to them as evidenced by the variety of materials used in this image. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#masonbee #osmiaaglaia #beehotel #natgeoyourshot #mat_macro_bees https://www.instagram.com/p/BrVTMZSBfsD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1orpiac8fca36

The right compound eye of a sharp-tailed bee (Coelioxys sp.). I have always been enamored by the eyes of these bees - their green color, heavy patterning and hair - yes, hair! The little yellow dots are pollen grains from a cosmos flower. ~~~~~~~~~#coelioxys #sharptailedbee #bugeyes #canonmacro #canonmpe65mm #mycanonstory #mat_macro_bees https://www.instagram.com/p/BophiebhCV4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e68yjyz1yi5x

The darkest day of the year calls for a super bright image. Here is a Heriades resin bee on a California poppy, shot around the last solstice.~~~~~~~#resinbee #heriades #caiforniapoppy #eschscholziacalifornica #natgeoyourshot #mat_macro_bees https://www.instagram.com/p/BrrNhH5BXDK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k0oney5bcuyi

Sharp-tailed bee on Douglas aster. An image shot in wide angle. The flowers, so close together to our eyes, are given some distance as if being viewed from the perspective of being tiny, like a bee. ~~~~~~~~#wideanglemacro #coelioxys #cuckooleafcutterbee #sharptailedbee #astersubspicatus #douglasaster #natgeoyourshot #mat_macro_bees #laowa15mmmacro https://www.instagram.com/p/Brc69w1BdpL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gtyx9estw9c3

Dianthidium resin bee on a cosmos flower. Hunchy, loveable and colorful bees that unlike most bees are actually black and yellow. They hold their wings out when walking and so are pretty easy to recognize at a glance. ~~~~~~~~~~#dianthidium #resinbee #mat_macro_bees #cosmosflower #pollinators

Agapostemon sp...but which one? An unusual individual, lacking the white abdominal stripes typical of others that are about this time of year. Maybe it is a new species to me, or perhaps they are worn off. Seen here visiting Helianthus helianthoides. ~~~~~~~~~#agapostemon #metallicgreenbee #greenbee #bees #bugs #insects #macro #canonmacro #insects_of_our_world #mat_macro #kings_insects #found_on_flowers #macro_freaks #top_macro #macroclique #tgif_insects #macro_kings #photooftheday #beesofinstagram #pocket_insects #macro_brilliance #macro_perfection #top_macro #macro_highlight #macro_spotlight #electric_macro #igmw_macro #mat_macro_bees #onceupon_a_macro

Black long-horned bee (Melissodes sp.) on Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta). A new feature for Bee Safari! These are quite common in some places I have heard, just not in the areas I frequent. A nice twist on the usual gray. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#melissodes #longhornedbee #rudbeckiahirta #blackeyessusan #bees #bugs #insects #macro #canonmacro #insects_of_our_world #mat_macro #kings_insects #found_on_flowers #macro_freaks #top_macro #macroclique #tgif_insects #macro_kings #photooftheday #beesofinstagram #pocket_insects #macro_brilliance #macro_perfection #top_macro #macro_highlight #macro_spotlight #electric_macro #igmw_macro #mat_macro_bees #onceupon_a_macro

Base-banded furrow bee (Lasioglossum sp.) on creeping bellflower (Campanula rapunculoides). A truly lovely bee/flower pairing to the eye, but not a flower one should encourage in their garden as it can be terribly invasive. Certainly tough to weed out when the bees are so excited about it, and when the flower is exceptionally beautiful. ~~~~~~~~ #creepingbellflower #lasioglossum #bees #bugs #insects #macro #canonmacro #insects_of_our_world #mat_macro #kings_insects #found_on_flowers #macro_freaks #top_macro #macroclique #tgif_insects #macro_kings #photooftheday #beesofinstagram #pocket_insects #macro_brilliance #macro_perfection #top_macro #macro_highlight #macro_spotlight #electric_macro #igmw_macro #mat_macro_bees #onceupon_a_macro
