in #naturelast year

On the beach Orikum in Albania, in a garden full of flowers, where I was swimming last week, I heard a loud buzzing that I followed with a glance. A large black bee caught my attention. I took a picture when bee landed on a flower. I have never seen such an insect before and I have read more details about this species on the Internet.
I am left with a nice picture and the knowledge I gained from reading the wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylocopa_violacea

As you wrote, I have beautiful pictures of nature, but most of them are more than a week old :-)

Hey there, welcome to the challenge! As far as I remember, this is the first ever entry from Albania here! Very nice close up, thank you :)

Thanks.
If there are any more challenges without the condition that the pictures are "fresh", I have a lot of nice pictures from this vacation for phenomenal stories :-)

Oh yeah, there are many photo contests on Hive. My buddy @friendlymoose posts a list of them every week, check it out ;)
