Some close up pics of drinking bees

Recently, I've been using a set of supplementary lenses on my phone. I've never been a big fan of phone cameras although I know they are becoming extraordinarily good. Anyway, getting these lenses coincided with me noticing bees using a little trickling water fountain I've made out of sandstone that sits on top of an elevated pond. The weather has been very hot and very dry and the bees have been drinking a great deal. Here are some images of them. Taken with my phone mostly using the closeup lens.
