Well spotted when ever another Bee comes in to land the Bee that has already taken position for the night sticks his (her)legs up over their back .Not sore if it is a welcome or piss off. Could beeee a hooker Bee :roll:

Wow, weird behaviour but great photo...
These two Bees have a lot more personality then usually seen.

Great image. The timing is excellent.

Perhaps the other bee is communicating as bees dance to give directions to good sources of pollen, according to a documentary i saw when i was a youngster at school. So maybe the yellow bee was just asking for the way to the good juice. :)

Very cool shot. A bee in flight and the other hanging on to the plant with its mandibles. Quite nicely done. :)

Excellent Loz. You realise of course you could have got a much sharper shot with your 24-120VR don't you :wink: :lol:
