This honeybee is flying between blooms of an especially profuse flowering trumpet creeper vine. Invasive outside of its range, even here in its native southeast it is an exuberant plant. The vines grow 40 feet or more into trees and whatever else it can grab hold of, including houses. If I tried shooting a time lapse, I would find it twined around my tripod, enveloping my camera, like an escapee from a B horror movie.
