It was a beautiful spring day yesterday and while waiting for some compost to be delivered to the bed where we would plant lettuce I saw this 3 banded Italian Honey bee working the flowers on some mizuna that had been over wintered. It took a bit to get a shot, she was quite active trying to find a flower that no one had already visited. At one point I was running down the bed cursing the slowness of the focus on my digital camera but finally i got a few nice pictures and this is one of them.
