Busy as a bee

I recently found out that I can take videos using a macro setting on my camera! It is lots of fun! Will hopefully be taking more when I get to go out and WANT to continue to stay outside. The weather is very much like Fall weather now. Maybe Fall is really coming...boo!

Here are my first two videos...no major editing or 'fancy-ing' since Ping is busy with the poster and an exciting new project!

This bee is looking around...

This bee has found a yummy spot and is busy stuffing itself with nectare. It is likely a worker bee judging by the amount of nectare it is collecting. Can you imagine how many times it has to do that repetitive action to get enough nectare to bring back to its hive to feed the rest of the bees? It was there for definitely a long time because when I got tired of leaning close to it, it was still going. Worker bees must have very muscular mouthparts.
