Indian Black Bee

Early summer mornings in Bangalore are the best. That day was also having one of those fine mornings - the sun wasn't that bright as yet and camera addicts like me don't miss out such times from clicking pictures of nature...the added bonus that day was an annual flower show held in Bangalore India. This flower show hosts to more than 4000 flower species of the world. So it was exciting to make visit to Lalbagh Botanical gardens that hosted the show.

Out there on a nearby fence a shimmering black creature was flying about & I noticed that it flew in a pattern - it flew up to one of the flowers close by and then again came back to perch on a fence. It did that about 3 to 4 times as I witnessed its play in the golden sun. I had no better reason to smile and begin my day with a picture of this beautiful hornet, cheers Chandan.
