Kungfu Bee

One of the permanent features in my garden is a small pod of water lilies that bloom all year round, attracting a steady stream of visitors - mostly from these sting-less bees.

 

I love photographing these little bees, they are quite tolerant of my presence, going about their routine without any fuss, and generally posing well for my shots. The only thing that might be a bit of a letdown is that they don't have any markings or features that make them standout - they're just black all over, and are quite small too.

 

Thus, the only good photos are when they are contrasted against a strong light colored background so they don't look that boring and featureless.
