These photos were taken back in April 2016 with my Sony phone. I've got an Australian native garden (mainly, except for a few fruiting vines and trees - passionfruit vine in the images) and have seen not only my own bees but also a couple of different native bees claiming residence. I'm looking forward to warmer, more active, weather...and the photos I might get!

Went out for some early morning inspections and found this lovely creature (Red-spotted Purple (Limenitis arthemis)) hanging out with the bees.

Caught the girls taking a drink. They love to go under the broken coconut.

By the way, how the heck does she know that they are your bees??? :smiling_imp: That is standard California legal defense for bee sting litigation - prove it was one of my bees! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
