[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Lavenders Lavandula are a genus of about 25-30 species of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae, native to the Mediterranean region south to tropical Africa and to the southeast regions of India. The genus includes annuals, herbaceous plants, subshrubs, and small shrubs. The native range extends across the Canary Islands, North and East Africa, south Europe and the Mediterranean, Arabia, and India. Because the cultivated forms are planted in gardens world-wide, they are occasionally found growing wild, as garden escapees, well beyond their natural range.Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants. Bees are a monophyletic lineage within the superfamily Apoidea, presently classified by the unranked taxon name Anthophila. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bee, in nine recognized families,[1] though many are undescribed and the actual number is probably higher. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.

This is a fantastic shot, the detail of the bee's wings, the lovely soft colours and the depth make a very lovely compostion. Typical summer! Regards, Jean

Bonjour Siegfried,
la lavande attire les abeilles et les bourdons, celle de mon jardin en tous cas est bien fournie en bourdons.
Excellente DOF, bon focus sur le sujet et aussi des couleurs très naturelles et bien rendues.
Regards.
Daniel.
