Buff tailed bumble bee (Bombus terrestris) on purple floret of knapweed (Centaurea nigra) large black bee two yellow bands and buff tip to abdomen.

This is a slightly more unusual composition being in the centre and the buff tailed bee is shot from behind so gives the image flexibility for use with space for copy or text each side and can be cropped square or to the left or right. The purple of the floret and yellow goes nicely with the soft green background.
