Honeybee at Work



(This picture can be enlarged by clicking on it.)

Earlier this spring I spotted this honey bee hard at work in one of our redbud trees. It gave me a good excuse to experiment with my macro lens.

Nice macro. And bees on flowers are always a good topic.

Macro can be so much fun! I looks like this bee has hit the jackpot. Love that color!!

you did a great job on getting the bee in focus. I have tried and tried and mine are always slightly out of focus. i can't get the rebel to focus on just the bee. lovely shot

Excellent.Capturing the bees is not easy as they are almost always on the move.

Great clarity and detail in this shot, and I can really appreciate it when enlarged. I love a good insect photo. They're amazing critters.
