Another one of my macro shots

Honeybees on 'Setsugekka' Camellia. Dot Tyler Memorial Garden, Tryon Palace, New Bern, North Carolina

This bee was harvesting the pollen from the flowers. I had the 100mm macro, which doesn't have as much reach as the 200, so I had to get much closer for these shots. Fortunately, honeybees aren't too distracted by us humans.

Anyone able to ID?

Autumn always seems to present the best opportunities to photograph bees on flowers. At this time of the year, the colors are so vibrant. On this day we saw bees, monarch and buckeye butterflies along with an occasional hummingbird. It is a great time of the year.

Well into the dreary part of fall now, so this shot is a colourful memory of a summer that lasted will into September...

Went to Royal Hampton Court Flower show, took my Nikon 105mm f2.8 G AF-S VR IF ED Micro Nikkor Lens, just right for the job.

I have a dedicated macro lens, but I almost never use it because the tg-2 is just so much more fun and practical. I don't know the species here, so any help would be welcome. Bee, Olympia, Washington.

The bees are working late in the evenings now because they know whats just around the corner.

I've been bouncing around of late in regard to my photographic interests. Birds, sunsets, macro, landscapes, and more. Truth be told, I am in a bit of a creative lull at the moment. Decided to do some macro work today, and here is a bee buzzing around a clover flower. Not sure what that thing is on its leg, although my wife said it is honey? Best viewed (L) for full detail.

Thanks for all the faves, comments, and views. Much appreciated~!

Photographing Bee is a big challenge in photography.

I found this bee on the pink dahlia, my 1st impression is that this bee either sick or tire hiding in the petal that without pollens. then I attempt to move it. A soon as I use the stick to move this Bee, It began to move.

Then I found that the bee eyes are with pollens instead of the legs. I think this bee must be wounded otherwise the eyes would not be having pollens.

I am happy that at least I save one life. & This is a great shot.

Thanks for your view, comments & fave.

I appreciate it.

Hard working never stopping, what would we do without them.

First bee macro of 2016, from today, May 16.

Not many blossoms from which to choose yet, except for massive numbers of daisies. And not many bees either. This one found a different flower while I was nearby.
