Pollen Magnet

Honeybees are covered in hair and the beating of their wings generates static electricity that turns all that fuzz into a pollen magnet.

 

Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (around 2x) + a diffused MT-24EX. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.

 

Technique: I injected 2:1 sugar syrup into a sunflower so this girl would have a reason to let me get close.
