I was walking around our property, camera with macro lens in hand. I saw lots of bees around as the Fireweed was coming into bloom. Sitting there, watching and listening to them all, I saw a bright flash of colour and it was a Metallic Sweat Bee. These bees are such a joy to photograph, their metallic bodies shine so bright in the sun and I loved the contrast with the Fireweed.
