A sweat bee comes in for one final pollen pit stop before heading home for the evening ! (Windsor, CT.)
Location: Sydney, NSW Australia_ Camera: Canon EOS 350D / Lens: Canon macro 60mm [1:1] / Exposure setting: Manual / Aperture: f/11 / Shutter: 1/125 / ISO: 400 / Filter(s): None Species: UNKNOWN?? / Size: Approx 22mm Picture description: / Kids, don’t try this at home ;-) / Standing 2 metres off the ground on a basic wooden step-ladder, staring down the barrel of a short 60mm macro lens, my face only inches away from danger…, and feeling quite safe for the moment…, when suddenly and in an instant ‘she’ turns and looks me directly in the ‘eye’, antenae probing. With my heart pounding and legs quickly turning to jelly, I quickly hit the trigger and captured a few shots in burst mode, micro-seconds before the hornet flew right over my head… I might consider a head net and some long sleeves next time. Hope you enjoy the picture. =)

When I first spotted this unusual flower with the bee on it, I couldn’t help but smile as it looked like a new contemporary honeycomb . FEATURED in BEE AND WASP PASSIONS GROUP !!!
A little hoverfly enjoys the purple flower for a bit… Taken in my garden, Ravenshoe, Far Nth Queensland, Australia with Canon PowerShot A480
One of my pet bumblebees (they have been hanging in my backyard for a few weeks now and they allow me to pretty much get on top of them to photograph them so I’ve referred to them as my pet’s…lol)
Taken in my back yard today.
Bee and blue flower
Do they have shoulders? I’m TERRIFIED of bees/wasps/hornets (been stung a few times and had bad reactions) so taking bee-shots yesterday was scary. But I got a few…this one was funny because he WOULD NOT turn around. All he showed me was his furry little shoulders. Maybe he’s in Bee Witness Protection? / / Canon Rebel EOS Xti w/4+ filter
BEE ABSTRACT / Best viewed large. / / BEE ABSTRACT was FEATURED in the group:REDFIELD PLUGINS / / I have finally created an abstracted bee using various filters and techniques from Redfield plugins and Photoshop. I thought it would look kind of neat on a card, in a frame, or on canvas. Now that is good news!! / /

Bee`s Wasps
Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants. Bees are a monophyletic lineage within the superfamily Apoidea, presently classified by the unranked taxon name Anthophila. There are nearly 20,000 known species of bee, in nine recognized families,[1] though many are undescribed and the actual number is probably higher. They are found on every continent except Antarctica, in every habitat on the planet that contains insect-pollinated flowering plants.
Many are dying off… Man and parasites … But we all need them
