The Cleyera shrub at the end of Piney Woods Church Road was all a-buzz with bees this morning, now that its flowers have opened. Peak bloom is still a day or two away, and so, I suspect, is the peak of bee activity. There were quite a few bees buzzing about, along with a scattering of smaller insects. The bees were quite intent on their task, dashing from flower to flower to perform their necessary tasks, making macro photography difficult. I may return tomorrow morning for another go. Meanwhile, here is a photograph of a bee hard at work.
