Description

first time I saw the tongue of a bee.I got 2 captures with the tongue out.usually the small honey bee has their head buried in the flower nectar but this lady is so large that it was possible to see.I got far better captures than this but I wanted to show the tongue wagging I took nearly 200 sunsets last night.it lit up halfway across the sky.one of the best this year thanks for viewing and any comments

ROFLMHO! Not what I expected to see at all when I clicked on the picture. Not just the tongue sticking out but also all that hair on top kind of looks like the bee is wearing a santa hat or something. A happy bee!
