Her wings are still moving. They were rapidly collecting nectar and pollen. They were moving so quickly, that I had to take about 10 pictures to get one good one. You can see the dark orange pollen on her legs.

Thats how I read it also.
How funny is that, I did too and I was like who the heck put helium in a hive? :-D
Hey, that gives me an idea. How about really small balloons filled with helium glued to bees for use in finding feral hives. Hmm. Should at least get a good laugh watching a bee try to pull the balloon home. LOL.
Bee-nuts, beautiful, beautiful shot. I don't know what is wrong with some of our forum friends, helium, oh brother, smiling ;) :) :) :). Being a "flower girl", I knew right away that the word was "helenium" not "helium". Giving you all a hard time, and you know who you are, smiling. I grow a perennial (well it grows itself) called Gaillardia (Blanket Flower), it has very similar coloring to your flower and looks similar in petal growth. The bees go nuts on it, and I am not exaggerating one little bit. Anyways, beautiful, thanks for sharing. Have that most awesome and wonderful day, great health. Cindi
