Honey Bees are close to being an endangered species. Years ago I wouldn't take many pictures in general of Honey Bees. They were prevalent and mostly what you saw. Today, we mostly see Carpenter bees. For some, taking pictures of carpenter bees is a bit boring. Similarly, shooting pictures of squirrels is also a bit boring. This is mainly due to the fact we see many of these everyday. People in New York City probably don't take many pictures of rats or pigeons because they can see them every day. Now, when I get an opportunity to take a picture of a Honey Bee, I take it. I've actually been trying to get a good picture of these flowers for a while. They are not the easiest flower to shoot. While I was trying, my other subject appeared.
