Bee very quiet



So, today, I was playing with the children in the back yard, when I saw a bee on the railing of the deck.
The bee wasn't moving hardly at all. It was only dragging itself along the wood, very slowly.
Thinking I'd never really have a chance to observe a bee at such close range, I watched him for a while. It kept moving along very slowly, and was using its antennae to feel the wood in front of it as it sat and looked at me.
Eventually, it dawned on me that I should take some pictures while I could get so close without fear of retribution or at least a nasty sting.
So, here for your viewing pleasure are the pictures of a very quiet bee in my back yard.
