Macro Squeezing In

Squeezing In · **8 Likes**

This was the biggest bumblebee I have ever seen, and when she landed on the blooms, the entire stalk just bent over.

Great shot Has me grinning ear to ear.

Man, I need a bigger flower.😊 Good macro, Todd. The bumblebee should pick on flowers more its own size.

You were "on top" of this guy, Todd. Terrific shot.

Big bee - bigger appetite. Probably didn't even know you were there

Great pic, Todd. Nice and sharp. As I am not familiar with that plant, I have no reference for understanding how big this bumble-bee is?

Thanks Mike! It is interesting that the smaller bees are not attracted to this plant.

Thank you MSL. It was pretty oblivious to me.

Thank you Peter! It is a variety of salvia that I don't know the name of. The blooms are a couple of inches from the stalk to the tip, so the bee had to be over an inch long, but it was about that big around as well.

That bee's eye alone is almost more than those blooms can hold!
Impressively done shot!
