Bzzzzzt! Wrong answer. There are no intoxicants in pollen or nectar.
Besides, it's getting a bit late in the season (in the northern
hemisphere) for Apis mellifera to gather pollen. They are starting to
eat the honey that they made earlier in the year from nectar that they
gathered.

Maybe, don't see any nectar gathered on her back legs...


You can see lots of pollen on HIS front.

"Pollen", I mean that she has not gathered any pollen on her back legs like
you see normally.


HIS back is blurry, but look up front.

Firstly, that's not a guy, it's a girl. Secondly, what is there about
that quite ordinary photo of a ?Bombus sp.? going about its life's
business that would cause you to think it's intoxicated--other than
lack of familiarity with its ordinary behavior, that is?

YOU need to brush up a bit on Order Hymenoptera, particularly Family
Apidae, before discussing in public, what?

Alan Browne:
I don't know that bees get drunk, that would require the honey be
fermented first (Mead). I have seen wasps (the insect) gorging on
grapes that had been left on the ground for a few days...

Yes. After the grapes fall they begin to lose water and the sugar in
them becomes more concentrated and more nutritious.

To the best of my knowledge, honey cannot ferment on its own. If it
could, it would likely become toxic to the bees who rely on it for
winter food. One must add yeast to promote fermentation into mead.

What are the advantages of an slr camera now?

Compact digital cameras equipped with a zoom lens
negating the need for interchangeable lenses
and having a large viewing window with no parallax
can do anything an slr digital camera can do.

Why am I getting a sense of deja vu?

Are you suspecting the return of the "Mothman of Minnesota", sometimes
known as "SuperZooms", sometimes wearing a varierty of shifting nyms.
He could be out of treatment I suppose.

I thought the pollen collectors were male.
The insect certainly was collecting pollen, but was very sluggish. The
critter certainly was not eating any honey. Some of the folks from the
local Dahlia club were actually petting the critter.

low temeratures make them slugish, same with flies adn a lot of other
insects.

Yes, and that's why early in the morning in cooler temps is a better
time to photograph them.
