The Hummingbird has left the building. Bee leave it or not.

SEA pointed out that these are Hoverflies. He is correct. I wondered why they didn't sting me.

Sharp focus on right bee and the one in flight looks good too. They do look as though they are happy to have the place for themselves.

Bees have four wings, but they have only two wings. They have the appearance of bees, but it are bees in disguise (or fake bees). Please check-out this link to know that they are just hoverflies, Tick, lol.

Regards, Sea.

I must admit, your title immediately made think of Hummingbird by Seals and Crofts. I did not know that bees have four wings, but I do know you have a pretty terrific picture.

I focused and shot uncountable shots of hummingbirds during my recent vacation. Along comes TicK with bees mimicking hummingbirds at the sweet-water feeder! Well done and shot like a pro! Fantastico!

How good of you to give them a drink. You know buzzing around makes a bee mighty thirsty. Very colorful Tick.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
