  • Support, quite possible the bees are disappearing. — Cirt (talk) 16:17, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, lovely in-focus snap of the bee collecting nectar. Chris TehGrauniad (talk) 17:54, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Great detail.--Godot13 (talk) 01:26, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I think either the head or my eyes are slightly out of focus and the front of the head is obscured by the petals, but the rest of it is so sharp and it obviously has high EV for "honey bee feeding" so I think it would be mean to oppose. Anyway it is pretty and not a close relative of that wasp that stung me on my [CENSORED] earlier this year, so thumbs up. Belle (talk) 12:43, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
