Macro bees

bees · 06:23 AM

uninvited guest flying into kitchen sink, sipping to quench its thirst.

Its posing for me too. So additional wet tower to entice the bees to come back and it did.

Added another shot taken today with a purple tower soak in water to attract the same bee. taken 7.sept 12

This shot has a dreamy quality that I really like. Well done.

Nice! I tired to capture a few bees shots but the little buggers were so flighty it wasn't possible to catch them sitting still for more than an instant! You did well! Very good!

You always produce excellent Macro shots, always sharp and detailed.

I have added another bee shot taken today but with a purple background, being a table cloth and that's where the bees often rest for some refreshing

Thank You, the bee seems to be "Not afraid of me" anymore as it has been flying in and out for the past several days. So I will need to change the tower, the spot it often stop to seep water, from grey to purple and when I changed to orange table cloth, it flew off. hopefully, it will come back and i believe it will..

Thank You, EM for your compliment. I rested on some support before triggering the shutter, otherwise, my body will be floating like a pendulum

Great shots! I nearly missed your post, glad I caught it. #2 really pops!

That purple background really makes the bee stand out. Nice work.

Yes, I too like the purple background which made the bee stands out. Thanks once again..

Ok, uncropped shots of the same bee. Its been visiting me for the last few days or maybe even more. Maybe my basin seems to be producing nectar for the bees
