This photo was taken September 2009.  There were a load of white bees and I could never work out if it was just because of the pollen from the flowers.  Most were even whiter than this one but extremely difficult to get a photo of because obviously they zoom about from flower to flower.










But going by the bees today August 2010 on the same flowers they have just started to get the white on them.

Scary beasties close up, wasps.
