      Not every bee makes it. Nature has it's way.


      The wife sent me a text saying she had found a wasp(!) that was really really docile on a towel on the washing line, and she could see the pollen on it, so she put it in a tub for me to photograph when I got home from work...


      So when I got home a short while later, I looked and instantly realised why it was docile, and that the pollen really was. In fact, it was already dead, and the "pollen" was of course, why...






















      Paul.
