"Looking close... on Friday!"

"Small Animals with Wings"

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.

We have had a really hot dry summer this year and a lot of my plants have suffered but my geraniums have flowered their little socks off and the Bees have loved it.

Caught in a sudden heavy rain storm, these bee's will grip on to flower or leaf with their powerful jaws till long after the danger has past!

I think I got that the right way round! Anyway a Bee that pretends to be a wasp.

This is a carder bee chasing down a smaller one I'm not sure what for but it's fascinating to watch. Totally uncropped

Looking close... on Friday!

It is very sad to find this current reality, the absence of bees, I tried for three days to find bees in my sector and I did not find them, a year ago we were surrounded by them ... today we suffer an environmental crisis

This bee was busy in the flower and fell out on his back in his hurry. Thanks for looking and happy weekend!

While walking along the Arly river in Savoie, I could admire the work of these bees foraging in the wisteria.

Thanks for your visit, I wish you all a great weekend.

Another beautiful bee 🐝🐝🐝🐝😀

This is a very large hoverfly. It's body is about 3 cm long. I finally found it it a Tiger bee fly. It feeds on nectar and despite it’s size it’s harmless as an adult. However it’s larvae are parasites and feed on carpenter bee hatchling.

Bienen ernähren sich rein vegetarisch. Ihre wichtigste Nahrungsquelle sind süße Pflanzensäfte – insbesondere Nektar. Für die Eiweißversorgung sind sie auf Pollen angewiesen.
