Balancing bee on a very hairy Geranium Phaeum. I have a nest of these tiny, harmless bees living in an old mouse nest under a rose bush.

Thank you. I didn’t realise either were as furry until I went indoors and looked at the photo. Thanks for the comments. X

Funny how the camera, especially in closeups, can show things we don’t particularly notice. Makes one realize how affected by perception our ‘vision’ actually is…
