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.
Well into the dreary part of fall now, so this shot is a colourful memory of a summer that lasted will into September...
Pentax D-FA 100mm F/2.8 Macro plus Raynox DCR-250, with off-camera diffused Yongnuo YN-560 III flash. Towards infinity on the lens. Reds are a bit off the chart on this one...

megachilidae. In my garden.
African Carder Bee 5 - 8 mm long.
This name is derived from the fact they collect downy fibres from various plants to make nests...how about that!

Two bees on a flower but I admit that the title is misleading. As far as I know these bees belong to different species and what you see here is rather a mean attack than big love.
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.
It seems I'm not the only one who enjoys my Cosmos flowers; the bees love them too and are continually flitting from flower to flower collecting the pollen.
I can't take credit for this photo...my daughter captured this lovely shot this morning.
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~!
