I found a miner bee!

Not the first time, but I don't see them as often as the regular honey bees.

The field as big and wide and full of dried up stems and flowers. And there... right next to the narrow path I saw something yellow. Nop, not a flower. It was a tired little bee resting on a stem. All covered in pollen! She wouldn't even move as I was getting closer.

I left her there after taking a few shots just to find more of them few meters away.

They are just so damn cute!
Digging their little homes in a soil and collecting pollen. After I knew who all the tiny borrows belong to I started to watch them hoping I will catch few returning ones.

Bingo :)

Prepare for landing!

See how much pollen they carry on their legs?

There was also one that didn't look too good. I think she got wet and was waiting to dry out in the sun.
