Bee photography in my friend Joan’s garden has been an interesting experience. Joan keeps two hives of bees. When we walk through the garden she knows which bees are hers. When I left the first time she gave me a jar of honey
My return trip to Joan’s I took her a hat of apple butter. As we sat outside, I was determined to photograph a bee on the purple asters. The bees wouldn’t land for long and my hand wasn’t that steady, coming up with lots of blurry shots.
My mother loved asters. Joan said last year she inadvertently cut them down to the ground thinking it a weed. And look at the gorgeous flowers now.

Beautiful picture! We noticed Asters for the first time this year when they were blooming in Washington State. Such a pretty flower 🙂
Beautiful!
Your patience and perseverance paid off in a stunningly sharp and beautiful photo. I love how the bee wings fill that open space in the petals. Well done.
Thank you dear Audrey. Who knew that photographing bees could be so satisfying?
Love Asters another beautiful bee picture. Thanks for sharing Ruth.
She knows which bees are hers? That is impressive!
