Oh Bee-have

[jds9000]

Caught this little fella out in the sunshine this evening ...
I've got a view from the front, and the eyes look bigger than normal ...
Any Bee buffs out there ....

Its a fly.

Naah, it's definitely a bee - it's too pretty to be a fly

Flies don't have hairy bums and they're also all-over ugly.

Dunno what sort of bee it is though. I just refer to them as white-arsties or yellow arsties .. depending on the colour of their fuzzy/hairy bum.

This little fella looks like a baby yellow arsty.

First the photo. Nice capture Jem but I think you have a better one on your website.

At least the Dr Who sets don't wobble

And I agree the storyline is getting exciting. With Rose coming back, a bit of romance together with the Sci-fi, a perfect combination
