Description

first time I saw the tongue of a bee.I got 2 captures with the tongue out.usually the small honey bee has their head buried in the flower nectar but this lady is so large that it was possible to see.I got far better captures than this but I wanted to show the tongue wagging I took nearly 200 sunsets last night.it lit up halfway across the sky.one of the best this year thanks for viewing and any comments

That is pretty darn close, lol. I have never managed to get such a shot. I (like you) only see the back end of them because their heads are buried in the blooms. Nice capture. Thanks for sharing. lee
