Maybe I'm just ignorant about bees, but why is the abdomen like twice the size of normal?
Queen bees have long abdomen like this, but it would be rare if ever to see a queen pollinating like that. Once they start laying eggs they are too heavy to fly. I would 90% guess it's a type of bee that I doing know, 10% it's a queen bee
Now that you comment on that I thought it was maybe perspective, but all other shots show that looooong abdomen as well. Fingers crossed it means lots of honey for the hive.
I'm also wondering this, I stared at the picture for a while trying to figure out if I was just looking at it weird
