Aust Native Bees

More Oz native bees of the Trigona Sp. Commonly called Sugarbag Bees. This was a first outing for the new MP-E65mm

MP-E65mm at 2x 1/125 s at F 16.00 with ISO 200

No.1

Nice shots again Greg.

That MPE is becoming rather widespread in it's use, and the results prove it's pedigree.

Ahh, good shots Greg, especially #1 - reminds me of a shot I took a year and a bit ago! Well done.

Dave

PS Sugarbag bees do not have a stinger are are completely harmless.

Nice! very impressive

interesting bee, hope they are doing better than the Honey Bees in america.

Great shots Greg.Looks fully laden, how do they manage to fly.

Thanks, I'm not sure how susceptible they are to the diseases that the regular honey bees are getting.

Thanks, I've wondered that also. They guys are very small to that extra weight must be a challenge.
