Honey Bee on Lavender
Since retiring from a career in Photojournalism in 2024, I’ve found a quiet sense of solitude in gardening, discovering a renewed passion for capturing all of the flowers growing within my garden. This little honeybee photobombed the scene as I was trying to capture imagery of my Lavender flowers. Disregarding composition, I took the image before the bee had a chance to fly off. It’s a simple scene, but so much of what we grow thrives because of these tiny insects. A small unexpected detail, yet a big reminder that so much of our survival is reliant on this one simple act of nature. So I honour this bee taking ‘his Lavender tea’ like our existence depends on it.
