I took this photo on 30th April. I have noticed there are hardly any bees or butterflies going about this year. I don't know if the bad weather has had an impact on them but it is worrying.

- I'm a simple Scottish girl with an unusual name and a strange obsession for nail polish! My aim is to capture what the eye sees, with a camera! Too much nail polish and never enough time. I have also started wildlife photography, which I enjoy very much. Welcome to my little world :-)
...we have plenty of bees of several types and few butterflies.
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky. We usually have loads but not this year :-|
DeleteHmm! Maybe it is a result of the bad weather, but hopefully you see more of them soon! This is a beautiful photograph!
ReplyDeleteI am hoping if the weather gets better, I see more. Thanks Shannon :-D
DeleteA busy bee. :)
ReplyDeleteYup working hard! Thanks :-D
DeleteBeautiful macro. There are fewer and fewer bees and that, as you say, is very worrying.
ReplyDeleteThanks Fernando. Yes, it is very worrying.
DeleteBien captada en ese bonnita y desenfocada flor.
ReplyDeleteFeliz fin de semana. Un abrazo.
Thanks, glad you like it :-D Happy Weekend to you too :-D
DeleteReally disturbing Anaska!
ReplyDeleteI hope it's temporary due to the bad weather and they come back!! Nothing happens without bees!!
It is worrying for sure! So true, they are so vital :-D
DeleteThe decline in bees and other pollinators is a cause for great concern. Perhaps the new government in the UK will have a more enlightened attitude to the environment and its creatures.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is and something needs to happen! Well, haha, we shall see. We can live in hope, but I'm not sure how things will be in Scotland. I hope things do get better over here!
DeleteBeautiful photo. I've heard the bee population is way down, which is very concerning.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes, it certainly is.
DeleteYour photo is wonderful! I hope it's just the weather affecting them and nothing more serious.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry. I hope so, I really miss seeing them about.
DeleteLinda abeja. te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThanks :-D
DeleteThe bee is very nice. A different sort of coat compared to Aussie ones
ReplyDeleteIt is a cutie! There are a few different sorts over here.
DeleteNice capture. I think they are on the endangered list.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yes, it would seem so.
DeleteI can see a lot of bees in summer!
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky to have them over there :-D
DeleteGreat capture
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine :-D
DeleteA good photograph.
ReplyDeleteI've not seen many bees so far this year.
All the best Jan
