Not sure what species this is, but it was enormous - at least twice the size of a normal worker bee. Thanks to one of my cousins, who is knowledgeable about these things, I'm fairly sure this is a Carpenter bee.

Helpful bee?

Pollen everywhere...

Heavily laden with pollen - or a nasty case of dandruff...

Although a very successful invasive species, the rhododendron, we must not forget that these very colourful blossoming flowers; provide the bees and other insects, with ample pollen during summer months... Besides natures ecology, man has a role to play too... in balancing ecological factors.

Spring is flowerin' out all over! (achoo)

Assuming there is such a thing - this butterfly is certainly lapping it up...

Just sucking up all that lovely nectar.
