January Honeybee Series 1-2
After a few days of below freezing temperatures it warmed up to 16C. I mixed one cup of sugar with one cup of boiling water, let it cool, then used it in a spray bottle on one of the plants in my yard. On the plus side the girls find the sugar water pretty easily and feed on it, letting me get close to them. The down side is that they'll lick it off the side of flowers and leaves and they're constantly moving.
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (~1x) + a diffused MT-24EX. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
