Refocussing on the tiny lives living in my garden, here's a small sweat bee from a few days ago.

It's known as the common furrow bee or slender mining bee, the Gewöhnliche Schmalbiene in German (Lasioglossum calceatum).

A close up picture of a small bee on the pink and white flowers, against an out of focus green background. The bee has dark antennae and compound eyes, and its thorax is a darkish brown with lots of golden hairs. The legs are mostly black in the top half, yellow below. The abdomen is striped in a light brown and cream.

Carpe diem 🐝

Even as the sun slips below the hills to the south, a honeybee's work is not done 🍯

Perhaps not the sharpest of shots, given the rapidly dimming light, but the lovely evening colour mix of the lavender & the defocussed houses & trees on the other side of the valley seems worth sharing 🙇‍♂️

A honeybee perched on the side of a lavender stem, its proboscis in one of the flowers. The scene is backlit by the evening sky and there is a lovely mix of purples, greens, blues, and whites, the background nicely out of focus.
