Bee and Hydrangea

Bee and Hydrangea, originally uploaded by Scarlett Design.

The men of experiment are like the ant; they only collect and use. But the bee...gathers its materials from the flowers of the garden and of the field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own."
~ Leonardo da Vinci

Another photo from the Norfolk Botanical Garden last week, of a bee collection nectar from a hydrangea.
