Busy at work in the Urquhart Butterfly Garden in Dundas, Ontario

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.

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!

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.
