Like many gardeners I have a love-hate relationship with pyracantha. I love its evergreen presence, snow-like covering of white flowers and plentiful orange berries that keep the birds happy. I hate its lethal, stiletto thorns. This year our pyracantha has been particularly well covered in flowers and each time we have walked past it has hummed with the sound of bees collecting the plant's pollen. This busy buzzer spent only a couple of seconds on each cluster of flowers. But, by chasing her around, I managed to get a couple of reasonably sharp shots.
