13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
A bee bathing in pollen.

This bee bathing in pollen was so busy at work, it wouldn't flinch, flutter or fly away. As I zoomed in to get up close and personal, you can clearly see, it was busy licking its leg(s) that are covered in pollen and it also appeared to be content and just going about "another busy day of work".
