A few seconds before I shot this yesterday, there was a hummingibird hovering over this bloom.

Aloe Blooms with Bees: FOTD Apr 21, 2019
Click on photos to enlarge.
The aloe are in full bloom now, and the bees are taking full advantage. They tunnel down into the blooms until their entire bodies are obscured, then back out covered in pollen. They are absolutely drunk on nectar, or so it seems, and as determined as Morrie when he in in ball-fetching mode.

I love the fragile waxy bloom of the aloe. In a cluster, they look rather scraggly, but individually, I think they are exquisite–both in their variegated and subtle coloring and their simple fluted style. I was experimenting with placement. Chances are you’ll see a few other “posings” tomorrow!
