I'm a Beekeeper, and have a hive in my garden, was sitting out earlier on a fair way from the hive and noticed this fellow a bit tired.
No idea if it was one of mine or not, but gave a little refreshment and off he went right as rain!
Managed to get an amazing photo 😃

@BewareTheBeardedDragon i think it causes cross contamination or can cause diseases or something like that, to feed a bee honey that has been made by another hive.

Love the bee chat. I bought a catmint last year and the bees swarmed round it so I was miffed this year that they haven't taken any notice of it yet, preferring the lupin in the pot beside. Imagine my joy when a big fat bumblebee realised yesterday hey this is a great plant! I watched him for ages burying his wee head in the flowers. There's something really nice about watching the bees enjoy the plants that you've grown and cared for.
