Bees working

We finally had some warm weather (high 70's is warm in north Puget Sound) and after a few hundred snaps I've got two to share. The second one was previously posted but gets kinda lost. :bounce:

1. Love the colors in the first pic, gorgeous..

I know just what you mean about "several hundred snaps"... :evilgrin:

Here's my best bee pic so far..

2. Wow!

Is this with a DSLR? Mine is a point and shoot. Not that its bad, but I am starting to experience its limitations.

3. Canon 350D .. (Rebel XT)

For that pic I had an old Vivitar 135mm f2.8 screwmount manual focus lens on an adapter.

I found this guy in a pic I took yesterday, had no idea he was even in the frame.

I guess camouflage works.

4. Love the bees!

I finally have my beekeeper suit and can't read enough about bees! I am a beek in training and am learning how to rescue/remove swarms and unwanted hives. They fascinate me but to this point I've only thought of protecting myself, not taking pictures -- you inspire me to rethink! Thank you for posting!

5. It's not a bee. However it is too cool

to not post!

7. Great shot, that thing is amazing looking..

8. No Kidding! This is astonishing me in a jaw dropping sort of way.

What color, what a capture. I can't get over the detail on the body.
