A bee collects pollen in the warm afternoon sun. I don't usually crop my photos, but I wanted to focus on the bee for this one. Taken in Jackson Park, Chicago.

Sharpened up an old photo. I need to get out and shoot some new macros. I just discovered my camera has that feature where it will fire when something moves into the focal plane. Gonna try that with bees when the sun comes back out. First day of rain here since late May.
Last year, I complained that the white blossoms of the butterfly bush were too contrasty for good hummingbird photos. So, this year, I planted some bee balm to attract and show off the hummers better. Seems to have worked! This little guy flew right into my viewfinder less than ten minutes after I sat down to begin the stalk. Stayed another 45 min., but no more visits. I got the hint, declared it a "Win" and packed it in for the day.
Mining Bee with golden haired pollen baskets, but no pollen so far. The pov makes this one look a bit bumbly, but I didn't get another shot. Super to see these and sorry to say I am so looking forward to their parasitic Nomadas!
There is a saying in India - that roughly translates to .... "If there is space in your heart, then even nine people can live on a leaf".... i can see where that saying was inspired from.
Shot at the Royal Palace in Bangkok, had gone there to click the grand architecture of the complex - landed up clicking the amazing flora and fauna of the area.
Hope all you guys are clicking like crazy this new year season!
I have been trying to get some close ups of a bee for ages, we just haven't had the sunshine to bring them out, this morning we did have some sun, so I did a little practising....
I think macro photography is one of my favourites....
I love to see the detail that normally we would miss with just our eyes....well with my eyes anyway ;-)
kit lens with 2 +4 macro diopters.
Coincidentally, this image was captured 150 miles from my earlier post titled, "Bee on Zinnia".
Conclusion... Bees Love Zinnias!
