The honey bee

I have been looking at the delightful picture of the Italian honey bee with pollen on its legs. What I am puzzled about is on the right. I cannot make out what it is hovering over. Can someone enlighten me? Years ago my father used to keep bees and I used to watch him and also help put the honey in jars when we extracted it from the honeycomb.

Was this meant to be a reply to chat or the Facebook page re gardening? No picture of bees on here…

Apologies to all others wondering what the heck this is about in a PMRGCA post - but a bit of lighthearted interest, the honey bee image is on the Health Unlocked page, I think where I posted something to PMRGCA this morning.

i was looking at it this morning too - I took a screen shot of it to look at closely later. It would be hovering over a pollen source? a flower? or about to go into the hive?

I see that now. But the image is on my computer desk top, just need to post it to myself and download it to my iPad.
