I almost forgot I said I would post some more bee photos from The Netherlands for the upside-down people, but here they are.

This (unidentified) tiny bee came staggering out of a flower:

It looked like it had found more pollen than it could possibly need, and it didn't fly or walk away, but fell deep into the grass, like it was drunk:

It then recovered somewhat, found its feet again, and walked up a leaf:

I spoke too soon; it fell down a bit further, leaving a trace of pollen:

As the sun hit it, it started cleaning itself, first its antennae ... :

... and then its face:

It seemed to be OK when I left.

Thanks for watching!
