Now is high season for the foxgloves in Korea. They don’t grow wild here; I grew many from the seeds of a plant bought last year. This small bee was feeding on the inside lining. Many honey-bees were nectaring in the depths.

Mike, what a fine looking image. Excellent details in the bee and the flower. I like how he is positioned inside the bloom and facing you. I am wondering if maybe a square crop would improve the image even more, allowing for a closer look at the bee. Just a thought. It is a great image as is.
Perfect pose and great detail, Mike. Wonderful spring colors, lucky you this little fellow was so cooperative. Must agree with @Shirley_Freeman on the crop, since the right side does not seem to add too much to the image. Great capture.
