Desert Garden Happy Hour by Matthew Fisher

In the hot summer months of 2022, I spent several days photographing western honeybees drinking water from the birdbath in my front yard desert garden in Albuquerque. When temperatures exceeded 40°C, they drank constantly throughout the day. I'm assuming all of the bees I photographed were female worker bees – due to the large spacing between their eyes. Beautiful specimens and fun to observe.
