Carpenter Bee on Meadowsweet, Laudholm Farms, Wells Maine

The Meadowsweet is one of the few flowering plants in bloom right now at Laudholm Farms (Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve in Wells Maine), and is attracting a lot of big Carpenter Bees. Yesterday was not the best day for bee photography as there was enough wind to bounce the blossoms and make getting the bee in frame and in focus just a tad difficult…but I managed a few good shots.
