It’s not easy being a bee, bees work hard and they need their beauty sleep as well. Recently, wildlife photographer Joe Neely captured two cute bees taking a nap in on a flower. The shot shows a beautiful side of bees that we rarely get to see.

“The story behind this photos [begins when] me and my fiancé Niccole went out to find poppy flowers,” Neely told Bored Panda. “On the way back we saw this patch of pink flowers just off the highway so we stopped to take some photos.”

“I came over and study it for a while and more bees showed up. Soon, all the vacant flowers were occupied and this one bee was left out.  She crawled over to this open flower and got inside with the other one. I was watching as he stumbled around almost drunk-like and then got settled in.”

Be sure to heck out the amazing photos of bees below.

Neely discovered bees sleeping by accident when he went out to find poppy flowers with his fiancé Niccole one day. The couple was taking pictures and they heard bees buzzing about when they noticed that some of the bees were actually in the orange flower called Globe Mallow – and they weren’t moving.

“Well, I never knew that bees slept in flowers but as it turns out these bees (Diadasia diminuta) sleep in the orange flowers called Globe Mallows”, said Neely.

He captured this adorable moment of bees getting their beauty sleep and apparently, they’re sleeping in couples. But how can we even now that the bees are sleeping? Brandon Hopkins, a bee researcher at Washington State University, explained.

“They don’t have eyelids, so you can’t just look for bees with their eyes closed. By carefully watching bees, scientists have found that honey bees stop moving their antenna and in some cases fall over sideways.”

Sleeping patterns of bees depend on the species and where they live, but they usually take shifts to get a few hours of sleep.
