FfFfFfFF 58,083 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Have you ever thought about how or when insects sleep? Because they are buzzing around at all times of day, you might not have given it any thought. But as nature photographer Joe Neely shows, bees do, in fact, go to sleep. He captured an adorable photo of two globe mallow bees napping in a colorful globe mallow flower. The creatures, covered in pollen, are snuggled together in the center of the orange-crimson bloom in a scene that is almost too perfect to be real. “I and my wife Niccole went out in search of Mexican poppy wildflowers but the fields were empty,” he tells My Modern Met. Neely and his wife watched bees climb into flowers. “Soon after,” he recalls, “all the flowers on the plant had a motionless occupant in them. They were going to sleep. I've never seen this behavior before..” Source - https://mymodernmet.com/joe-neely-sleeping-bees/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
