Description
Honeybee Hugging Spiderwort Flower - it is this time of the beginning of summer where the Spring flowers are done blooming and the summer flowers are not quite opening yet and honeybees have a tough time finding pollen. The Spiderwort blooms late in the spring way into the summer. The honeybee here seems to almost be hugging the flower.

He looks like he's just taking a rest between flowers. Nice shot, Iris.
Iris Richardson replied:
He is a she lol. the honeybee drones are rather lazy. That is why the girls kick them out of the hive before winter.

He certainly seem to be hanging on!
Iris Richardson replied:
Yes, she is. Right now is the time when Spring flowers stop blooming and summer ones are not quite ready. A tough time for bees. With the wet spring we are having we are feeding them syrup to hold them over.
