While photographing flora at the Auburn Botanic Gardens recently, I captured this image of a bee on a vibrant white & yellow blossom. I just had to capture the bee’s plush body and pollen-laden legs. However, upon closer inspection, I discovered a peculiarity – the bee possessed only one antenna. This anomaly piqued my curiosity. Could this singular antenna impede the bee’s flight or disrupt its daily routine? This singular characteristic instilled in me a newfound appreciation for this determined bee. The Auburn Botanic Gardens remain a sanctuary for me, brimming with diverse plant life and a kaleidoscope of blooming flowers – an ideal setting for macro photography endeavors.
