Description


I took this close up of a Bumble Bee feeding on heather.I didn't notice the mites living in its hair to start with, then tried to get as close as I could to see what they could be. A bee keeper I know said there are many such parasites that live on bees!

It's a shame that they get so weighed downA great macro that eventually they can't fly. A great macro.
