Tight Squeeze

When I posted "Breaking and Entering " back on August 27, I never thought I would get a chance for these pictures. Here it is almost a month later, the closed gentian is still blooming and Voila! This bumblebee is on his way in.


Here is the same bumblebee backing out. You can see from the size of the opening in the still blue flower exactly how tight that squeeze is.


This picture is a different bee. There was much wriggling and buzzing going on while this one was in the flower. I was totally surprised to see that this bee turned around inside and came out head first. Who ever thought that you could sit and watch flowers and see anything so cool?
