Wild bumblebees are in danger in many developed
countries
due to habitat destruction and collateral pesticide damage.
Scientists have discovered that the abundance of some
species has declined by as much as 96%
over as little as two decades.
Det är tråkigt att det är så för humlorna ! De är fina sommardjur. Speciellt på din bild !

Hi Randi...
SvaraRaderathis is a very nice macro photo !! Love it :)
Greetings
Great shot of the bumblebee. I'm always glad to see them in my yard because I know they are facing a hard time in the U.S.
SvaraRaderaHelt underbart foto! Man kan se hur lurvig han är som en teddybjörn. Och underbara färger. Ha en skön helg!
SvaraRaderafantastic detail Randi, wow! Thanks so much for sharing the love up-close!
SvaraRaderasuperb macro of the bee! I've read about the bees' hives collapsing. I'm afraid that so much toxicity has been spread our our beautiful earth that we may be losing more of what makes our world habitable than we could ever imagine.

SvaraRaderaSo beautiful! Wonderful shot!
SvaraRaderaGorgeous, Randi!
SvaraRaderaLike it very much how you've captured the bumblebee...
Warm greetings, Anna
Wonderful image Randi! Surprisingly this year we have many more bees than usual.Possibly the weather is also a factor.

great photo!
SvaraRaderaI've been reading about the sad plight of the bumble bee. I've not seen one this summer. This is a beautiful capture.
SvaraRaderaa very stunning macro.
SvaraRaderaLovely macro photo. Makes the bumble bee look quite cuddly :)
SvaraRaderaI like how the bands of color are so distinct and the fuzz of the bumblebee is in such sharp focus. They are so special, I am glad to have an organic garden and grow plants they like so I can see them busy working.
SvaraRaderaFantastisk bild på humlan! Den är så lurvig och söt.
SvaraRaderaReally well done!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
SvaraRaderaVacker bild och de är i alla fall söta.
SvaraRaderaha en fin vecka
Kram Meta
This is terrific and such an awesome capture indeed!! Thank you for the information! So many species that are valuable to our world have become so endangered over the years!
SvaraRaderaBeautiful photo and yes, the bees are in danger and with them many crops.
SvaraRaderaSå härligt foto på den matsökande humlan!
SvaraRaderaVisste inte att den är en hotad sort!
