Bees are a vital part of the ecology, and of human civilization. They pollinate at least one-third of our food crops. However, after being "busy as a bee," they need to rest like any other living thing. Wildlife photog Joe Neely recently got some great pictures of two bees snuggling in a flower. His photos reveal a side of insect lives that humans rarely witness - or contemplate.
Obligatory: bee-autiful!
