Yeah,that's sad,but that's life !! I watched bee in spider's net.She was still alive when the spider began to attack.I wanted to react, to tear the net and save the bee ... but then I realized ... I have no right to interfere, I am not God, to change the order in nature ...
Excellent macro shot
big hug

It happened right in-front of me and I could 've save that poor frog. But its the nature. The lucky one will survive.
But its not the same with cats in my home. I wont let them to catch birds & squirrels. That is coz we are giving them food. So they do not need to kill animals. :)

Sudeera,
It is since short time I live on the countryside.
I am confronted with issues like small snails on the pathway being eaten by ants, snails climbing up the wall and windows, eating algae I presume. Then the snails are caught by house sparrows for food.
I tried to decide what animal was useful or not. And I concluded every animal/insect has its own place in nature.
I'd better not interfere as long as they don't demolish the house or sting me eating blood and infecting me.
I am learning lessons every day .............. ;-)
Thanks for your comment !
Harry

Impressive capture...
Nice colors, details & DOF.
Do not interfere the nature friend. That is where human made the mistake and paying now. :)
Killing one to save an already one is not the option. Face the reality of the nature. :)

Clay, you are right !
Only the queeen lives 3 to 4 years and all other bees, 99.9999% lives a couple of weeks or until mating.
Sounds familiar, a bit pohm like ;-)
Thanks for bringing up the life cycle Clay !
Attached a non-vignetted version.

For some reason I see bees quite often alone and on the ground, dying I presume, otherwise they would be flying or pollenating a flower, and you got me wondering with this shot how long a bee's life cycle is. From Wikipedia.
The average lifespan of a queen is three to four years; drones usually die upon mating or are expelled from the hive before the winter; and workers may live for a few weeks in the summer and several months in areas with an extended winter.
So as I suspected, a workers bees life span isn't very long and is cut even shorter if it stings something. I have a honeysuckle tree and when it is in bloom, it is covered in buy bees LOL.
