It's a Bee for All!

Midway through October and this variety of dahlia is attracting entire bee conventions, lol!
 
Using the flash gave this later afternoon shot an evening feel.
 
Almost appearing to hold up the center of the dahlia, three bees angle for as much pollen as possible.
 
This was the record. I believe there were six bees on this one flower!

    1. These bees are so sluggish this time of year, too. You can brush them off with your fingers and they just slowly fly to another flower. Poor things, lol! The 40 degree nights really take their toll on them.

  2. They look like they are doing a dance around the may pole. Beautiful.
