Bee tongues.

I never thought about bees having tongues, proboscis actually, until I saw these two on my zucchini blossoms. Amazing!

Thanks Douglas. My lens was almost touching them and they didn't pay any attention to me.

You're brave. I love taking macro pictures of insects, but not sure I'd get that close to bees. You're capture is awesome!

Nice shot! I go right up to them to take pictures and they have never bothered me either. I love Bumbles, I think they are really interesting.
