A quick break during lunch, man flu in abeyance whilst the sun was out, went for a little fresh air. this was another trial with the Hoya filters stacked on a Tamron macro lens with ring flash, hand held on manual focus

Unknown bee species with Cootamundra Wattle (Acacia baileyana) in flower.

These multi-colored condominiums are swarming with bees going about their work collecting pollen and nectar to make honey. Fascinating to watch as they travel significant distance without a mechanical GPS to guide them back and forth.

As I was taking the pictures of the flowers, I noticed bees swarming around collecting nectar. One bee was already working away when a second came to visit.

The bees were out in force on our Snow Crab tree so I decided to do a bit of macro photography. I used the 105mm macro lens and set the camera on continuous focus (C). I shot in manual exposure mode with auto ISO.

Got inky and had fun with the SIL and some die cuts. I stamped the ribbon with bees, too! I used Studio's Paper Pieced Bee.

Small solitary bee (size about 7-8 mm) from Hymenoptera order. Maybe a Colletes suborder?

It seemed to be sick or tired, it only wanted to perch on the plant. Background was created by white clouds.

Honey Bee

Maine has such cold winters, we had never seen a bee hive with the combs and bees exposed. It is in a cockscomb coral tree (native to S.America)

In December, there's not a lot in bloom (even with Oakland's Mediterranean climate) so the bee's grateful to have the Tree Dahlia in bloom and I'm grateful to have such wonderful photo opportunities.
