Oden and I were having lunch, last week, prior to going to the San Diego Zoo. This bee was slowly walking across the bench Oden was sitting on. I scooped the bee onto this drink lid, and placed him outside. After we'd finished eating, he was still there, so I took these. I don't think he was feeling very well.
Such beautiful photos, and such a shame she wasn't feeling good. Sometimes they're sleepy like that when it's cold here in the autumn (a classic time to get stung, here in England), but in San Diego ... ? Maybe the poor thing had a bee virus, or parasites. :(
