This male mason bee had enough of the paparazzi. He’s cute, though, even from the back end. © Rusty Burlew.

Glen,
Let’s just call it a lucky shot.
I have really enjoyed reading your blog. I was following the Secret Life of Bees (a book I loved) and landed here. I don’t keep bees but do my best to provide all-year round flowers for them here in Cornwall, UK. We have masses of bumbles which I adore.
All the best

Pat,
Thank you for providing for the bees! It is an important mission and I’m grateful to the folks who care enough to do it. And yes, The Secret Life of Bees is a great book; I loved it.
