Honey Bee

Was trying to shoot these bees yesterday. The only opportunity to get them is when they exit the flower and they never seem to stop moving. This was the only shot i managed that was sharp. Enjoy.

Bees can be extremely unhelpful sometimes - got lots of shots of bee bums :)
Lovely shot- like the colours and clarity.

I'm glad the bee-bum shots happen to the best of them. :D

I spent an entire afternoon trying to get a decent 'bee emerging' shot. Needless to say, none of the attempts were keepers. Just as you think you can anticipate their exit, they go back for more, then emerge as you're waiting for the flash to recycle...:rolleyes:

Nice shot Alistair. Bees only pose for me on an black background.:rolleyes:

Good shot, nice detail and clarity
