A bumblebee on the rosemary flower

Bombo su rosmarino

A bumblebee on a rosemary flower.
A beautiful bumblebee, perhaps out of season because when I took the photo it was December, looking for some nectar from some little rosemary flowers on one of the towers of Riomaggiore.
A beautiful macro, I think, for all of you!

Generally larger than common bees, bumblebees are characterized by a yellow and black livery, with bands of varying width depending on the species; there are species that are all black or with orange bands.
