Snap: Bees and a Beetle

I am afraid I am breaking the rules slightly for Helena's Snap. I have a collection of 4 bees that I have spotted on flowers.
1. This bee on the Welsh Poppy was having a good roll . I guess it was busy picking up pollen.


2. This red tailed bumble bee was busy working its way around the flowers by the pond in my brother's garden.


3. A busy bee on the lavender.


4. A little rest.


Then I couldn't resist adding  a Green Mint Beetle which is one of many feeding on my mint. 


So when I offer you a Pimms make sure I have thoroughly rinsed the mint!
