Two bees enjoying sexual intercourse
Description:
Description: English: I was planting a red raspberry bush on my stoop when these two creatures appeared on a leaf. I had thought that the Queen bee goes up in a spiral, surrounded by drones, but maybe an insect-ologist can explain this better. In Summit, New Jersey, in April 2012. Date: 14 April 2012.
