During my recent encounter with these Bee Eater I was fortunately to have many keepers of the fight shots. I shoot these at s1/4000, f4 to 5.6, CAF with Subject detection in Sequential Mode of 25 fps or SH2. Taking off or landing shoots were shot with ProCapture SH2.
A big thank you to all Flickr friends for your visits.
Thanking you in advanced for all your kind feedback & favourites.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week.
Keeping Smiling & Happy!
Thank you

Queen Anne's Lace blossoms such as this one are compound flowers made up of many tiny white flowers arranged in a flat-topped cluster. The nectar is located at the base of the tiny flowers, which is ideal for pollinators with short proboscises like the honey bee you see here.
Happy Wing Wednesday
Taken in the early morning near Val de Cantobre in the Cevennes National Park, France.
I did attempt a few focus stacks but even though it was quite cool in the mornings, it is surprising how much movement there still is in what initially appears to be a sleeping bee, this was one of the few successful ones I managed.
A 41 shot focus stack, processed in Zerene stacker using a combination of both PMax and DMap methods.
ISO100, f5.6, 1/6 sec.
Best viewed very large.

Website rangers WWF The bees help flowers and plants in love. It works like this: a male flower has stamens. There's pollen on it. That looks like yellow powder. A bee dives into the flower in search of nectar. The pollen sticks to its fur. The bee then flies to a female flower for even more nectar. It leaves the pollen on its pistil. You call that pollination. This is how a flower is fertilized and new seeds grow. Without bees and other insects, the love between flowers and plants would go terribly wrong and strawberries, tomatoes, watermelons or apples would no longer grow.
I've finally had the occasion to go hunt the beautifully colored Bee eaters and I gotta say that I was surprised by how easy it was...
This is another oldie I have let loose the sliders as it happens to bee one of my favourites.
Whether you have a small patio, a large garden, or a window box, growing flowering plants is an effective way to help bees and other pollinating insects.
Pollinating insects need food, water and shelter. They love plants which are rich in nectar and pollen. Nectar contains sugar for energy, while pollen contains protein and oils – forming a balanced diet.
