Description

the size of this bee talks for it's self. He was nervous about my camera and kept flying each time I approached him/her thanks for my post yesterday and today's visit and comments

Great capture!! Most bees will leave you alone as long as you don't bother them. They are facinating to watch on flowers gathering the pollen. Very clear pic, Richard!!!

When you're allergic to bee venom, as I am, this is as "scarily close" as you wanna get. Well done, and hooray for your chuzpah, Richard, better you than me ;-)

A him I think - if i recall high school bio (that'd be a first) - anyway, great capture, very well done. They never let me get this close, big dragonflys ya'know, just not safe.

I know these flying machines, they are very large and very impressive. I tried to photograph some of them, but for my macro zoom, it is necessary to approach very close then finally I did not have courage. Sorry for my bad English ;) Excellent image !

Richard, this is a bumblebee isn't it? I can't quite tell from the angle, I can't see all his colors, but it appears to bee! (can't resist a pun,ya know). A truly amazing image! Your pictures of nature are so excellent! Can we say 'National Geographic'? Leanndra
