Bee drinking

Uncropped
The dof isn't as good as I would have liked, but it was 40C today, so a very quick trip into the garden. The bee and I were very heat stressed :-)
For the macro challenge http://forum.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?t=35665 and
Thurday informal challenge The eyes have it http://forum.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?t=35782
