Everyone has a gazillion out of focus bee shots, surely?

But do they keep them?:-P

Stunning photos - are these handheld or on a tripod/stick? Those bees are pretty small, aren't they?

Thanks. Yes, they are rather small. I only shoot handheld and 95% of the time manual focus. Lee

This is actually a Carpenter Bee, about the size of a bumble bee. They are a bit of a pest because they bore holes in wood houses. They are excellent pollinators though so I put up with them and hope the house doesn't fall down. :-D

This image is incredible to me. Not only brilliantly captured, but I cannot articulate the emotions it invokes. Life on earth and that sort of thing. Well done!
