This photo was taken today 5/2/09 in Dover New Hampshire. While taking new photos of my listing 600 Sixth Street, Dover New Hampshire,I was out in front of the home, taking exterior photos, I heard a large "buzz" coming from the front of the home. I knew it had to be one of two things. Either it was several humming birds, or it was several bees pollinating. It happened to be the bees pollinating a large rhododendron bush in the front of the house. I knew I was safe getting close to the bush because the bees were too busy pollinating.

If you look real close, you can see one of the many bees that surrounded the bush. It was pretty neat to see, so I figured while I was there I would take the picture and share with you!
