Bee Carpenter Bee

Working day in day out everyday can become monotonous. Especially if we are working for someone else.

Yet we need to work because we are human.

No matter how rich and financially independent we are, there always a certain degree of work that have to be done.

Just look at this Carpenter Bee…

Carpenter Bee

Even thought the flower looks unattractive, this bee is still make an effort to visit and work for the nectar.

I have to wait for almost 15 secs for this bee to popped up again, must be a lot of goodness inside there! :)

Well, just like the bee, there is always a certain degree of satisfaction in the end of the day.

Can get no satisfaction? Just look for another garden tomorrow :)

    You got some great pictures of this bee. One of my most satisfying experiences is when I’m able to get a picture of a bee. I watch these creatures and hope they don’t get angry before I get the shot.

    Beautiful shots!
    Your Carpenter bee looks slightly different than the ones we have in Hungary.
    It has more like an armor on her back :)

    We don’t need to work because we are human..we have to work because society states it. I would much rather be like the bee (no pun intended) and no that the work I do is for the benefit of myself and family and not to line the pockets of the governments!!!!

    Those are some fantastic shots. At least with the bee, it gets to visit different flowers each day my job is the same old thing, day in and day out.

  17. Wow..the bee is so unique, and I’ve seen a black one before either!
