Bee- Behaviour III.(or no birds).

By rpba18205
I think these are hoverflies, not sure but I知 sure someone can put me right.
Not the best quality but I think quite interesting.
Taken on Wednesday morning 23/06/2010 at 0915Hrs as we were leaving home for the beach.
Do look large if you have time.
Many thanks again for all C&Cs. Rob

What an extraordinary shot. I don't know how I expected them to reproduce, but it wasn't like that.

I壇 never really thought about either. So I researched it on the net and found many similar pictures. Apparently it is usually performed in flight. A useful site is http://scienceray.com/biology/the-birds-and-the-bees/. If anyone is interested. Rob.
