Today - as it has happened many times before - a single bee (Apis mellifera) landed on my roof terrace. One reads that these bees are usually old, sick or otherwise no longer useful for the bee colony and are sorted out. Anyway, I fed it up with some sugar water. She drank, became more lively again, now she climbs around on the railing and will eventually fly away, I hope!
Shot with a Nikon Z fc with a Nikkor Z MC 50 mm 1:2.8. It was not easy to find a balance between aperture and exposure time, but with ISO 1600, f/25 and 1/25 s it worked. I didn't use a tripod because the bee is sitting on the ground, but I was able to put the lens on a small notepad, so it was possible to shoot well at 1/10 s – but the bee didn't cooperate. 1/25 s was perfect for both of us.
