Many Bee Moments are presentational. Some have a sense of confrontation. This moment illustrates the raw desire, focus and energy of a singular bee.

In truth, there is a bit of luck in snapping a clear picture of a bee mid-flight. This in flight Sweat Bee reminds me of a Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck cartoon, where Daffy runs to gather the Genie's treasure saying, "Mine, mine, mine." The focus on the Sweat Bee's near antenna, while it eyes the flower diagonally across, gives the photo such a nice sense of motion and impending arrival, while the blur of its wings give a sense of the raw speed of these amazing creatures.

This is another perfect transitional piece that can be hung alone or in concert with other Bee Moments™ transition pieces. Its neutral palette of yellows, tans, and muted greens will easily coexist in any hallway, stairway or entryway, while the movement of the piece urges passage. You can almost feel the Sweat Bee come in fast from the bottom of the photo shouting, “Mine!” then Buzzing By to its destination.
