Bees
Kodachrome Basin State Park
Oct. 2002

 



It was mid-October, and lining parts of Kodachrome Basin were brilliant yellow flowers. And along with the flowers were huge numbers of bees.

I thought I could at least manage to identify the wild flower if not this particular bee. However, I still haven't pinned a name to the flower, although calling it the Yellow Bee Plant (Cleome lutea) is a very strong temptation.
