2017 Wildlife Photo Contest

Species: Honey bee | Location: My private wildlife sanctuary - Charlotte NC, United States of America

Shot in my bee sanctuary along my private lake which is sanctioned by wildlife federation as natural habitat. I had taken great interest in supporting bee recovery and was learning what flowers they liked to visit along the greenways. It had just rained thru a summer storm and this honey bee was drinking dew drops while there in this flowering explosion of pink petals as if an oasis stop after hot day.
