Permission to land

Today's the day ...................... to capture bees

Difficult meeting at work this morning - but it turned out OK. It was great though to get some fresh air in the garden at lunchtime. The sun shone and it was really quite hot. The bees couldn't believe their luck in having a spell of actual summer weather, and they were buzzing about busily doing what bees do.

This big fat bumble was firmly established in the middle of a cosmos when this smaller one arrived with landing gear down, ready to go. She had to do a few circuits waiting for permission to land from bee traffic control before she could take over.

Nothing was paying any attention to me, that's for sure ..................
