I wanted to start a place to share photos of my beekeeping adventures and all the other bugs we find around our property. Please share your bees and bugs here. 
@RainToday - I see that you have stuff to add here.

Lovely!! I adore when the honey bees are photographed in flight and you can’t see their wings so it just looks like a big pill capsule floating in the air 
I’m going to reserve my actual bees to decorate replies on @misterbee 's thread, unless he suggests I buzz them off 
But I’m utterly delighted to have somewhere to share some not-bee bugs I’ve enjoyed photographing. They’re all pollinators except the spider. It eats pollinators. Specifically.

Beautiful photos! Thank you for sharing these with us. I cannot wait for summer to come with everything showing off full colors.
When I was a kid I was terrified of bees. Not even allergic, just scared of them because they could hurt me. It turns out that I have a great aunt who’s a beekeeper my entire life and I think that it’s really cool. One day I would love to have a piece of property where a hive can be kept. Bees are awesome, and they are super important!
