Capture the buzz of a summer garden with this charming macro photograph. The image centers on a vibrant Purple Coneflower (Echinacea), its soft lavender-pink petals drooping gracefully around the spiky, rusty-orange cone.

The real stars of the show are the two visitors sharing a moment: a fuzzy honeybee resting on the petals and a tiny hoverfly perched right next to it on the cone.

A surprising late fall bloom, and a very happy pollinator. These flowers popped up unexpectedly below a patch of juniper.

Hi @brembs do you know why the reference stack of the honeybee brain isn't calibrated?

Is there one that is, or are there known scale bars for this volume?

Once more with the #bumblebee v #honeybee theme:

Bumblebees employ a neat trick called ‘buzz pollination’ to dislodge hard to access pollen in certain flowers.
Honey bees don’t got this move in their repertoire!

Again the #bumblebee v #honeybee theme:

Bumblebee eyes allow higher spatial resolution in vision than honey bee eyes so details are clearer, however, honey bees have better colour discrimination abilities than bumbles.

Continuing the bumblebee v #honeybee theme:

Whereas honey bee hive/colony tasks are ‘assigned’ by AGE of the bee, bumblebee nest tasks are related to the SIZE of the individual bee rather than the age.

Continuing the bumblebee v #honeybee theme:

The annual colonies of #bumblebees are substantially smaller than those of honeybees.

Bumblebee nests house at most a few hundred bees. Honey bee hives house tens of thousands.

Honeybee at work on Japanese anemone. Pollen baskets loaded, tiny stamens glowing like little suns. Slow breath, steady hands, and the garden turns into a universe of color and texture.
