Our Callistemon Hybrid hedge is in bloom right now and the bees are all over it. When I took this photograph two mornings ago, I had my camera on a tripod, pre-focused on a particular flower, so that when a bee landed all I had to do was point the hand held 8.7 inch Lastolite soft box at the bee and press the trigger. I used a Yongnuo RF-603N trigger which triggered both the camera and the Yongnuo flash. I used camera settings that caused the background to go dark so that only the flower and the bee would be lit.
I've photographed a lot of plants and flowers, because they're all around us, work cheap, and never complain. I have an album of these images with over 1100 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.

This little hummingbird is proving that she is pretty good at pollinating. Her beak is covered in pollen. I think it is a female black-chinned hummingbird.

Some sort of snout nose moth with a bee
Cold Creek Canyon
If anyone knows what kind of moth this is, let me know. There were hundreds of these flying around that day.
It's fun taking pictures of honeybees on sunflowers. There are so many of them that they constantly bounce off your arms and face while you are taking pictures of them. I've shot pictures at the sunflower fields for the last several years and have never been stung. I think the bees are more interested in getting nectar than bothering me.
I couldn't find a crysalis in this garden, but the sign implies to me that someone hopes the environment is right for a butterfly nursery. I am always amazed as I watch adult butterflies emerge!
The Christopher Spiller Pollinator Garden in Clarks Hill, South Carolina, stands as an awe-inspiring testament to the sheer power and unwavering resilience of nature. It is here that the mesmerizing interplay between the enchanting flora and the captivating fauna unfolds, like an intricate dance that leaves us spellbound. Every corner of this magnificent garden pulsates with life, where every petal and every winged creature holds a profound purpose. Just take a moment to behold this captivating sight: a black bumblebee, brimming with pollen, gracefully taking flight.
This extraordinary garden serves as a resounding reminder of the utmost importance of preserving and cherishing our precious natural world. It beckons us to recognize that we are but humble guests in this vast, breathtaking tapestry of life. So friends, I ask you to come forth and immerse yourselves in this sanctuary of wonders. Let the sheer magic of nature whisk you away to a realm of pure exhilaration and boundless joy.
The honey bee plays a huge and important role in our food chain being one of the most important pollinators. Without pollination we have no fruit, vegetable and the bee plays a crucial role. Unfortunately, and alarmingly, their population is in steep decline. I'm not a specialist but watch this clip to get more info on an upcoming documentary. www.vanishingbees.com/
