Using a close-focus wide-angle lens, I was nearly touching the bee when I snagged this frame. Luckily, it was one of the big docile bumble bees who was happy to let me spy on them.
The fish-eye lens makes it feel like we were standing back from the flower, but if this were a normal lens, it would be obvious this is a macro shot.

Bee photos, these are becoming increasingly hard to get, especially here in Essex. Many of the gardens I visit have had a real decrease in numbers. On my walks into the countryside Buddleja, Thistle and other wild flowers there is hardly anything. Is there a cure?
The Rhododendrons are currently keeping the bees very busy. There's more blossoms this year than I've ever seen.
This bee was busy in the flower and fell out on his back in his hurry. Thanks for looking and happy weekend!
