Norbury: Honey Bee on Buddleia

Clearer to see in large
Extra: Best hoverfly attempt

I just took some photos as I walked to the pharmacy... I spotted a hornet-mimic hoverfly on the buddleia, but didn't get a particularly decent shot and it was keeping high. Honey bees to the rescue!

While I was taking pics, an unknown person stopped their tricked out Merc in the middle of the road, rolled down the blacked-out passenger window, and asked what I was doing... As tempted as I was to say "Minding my own business", I waved the camera and said "Photographing insects" [while thinking "you must be a detective"]. They then said that they'd flowers and wanted a decent photo, so would I come photograph them? I declined with an unnecessary "I'm afraid that I've places to be...".
Perhaps they just wanted a decent photo and didn't know how to go about approaching that, but nothing about the interaction or invitation seemed transparent or sympathetic!
