Shortly after the sun broke through the morning overcast yesterday, I was exploring a favorite patch of cosmos blooms. Mr. Bee flew right into my shot, and he was really loaded with pollen. Check out that saddlebag! (Olympus E-5 & Zuiko 50m macro, f/6.3, 1/500 sec., ISO 200, morning sun, handheld)

I’ve never seen so much pollen on a single bee !! What a beautifully detailed and executed piec of work Celeste, lovely
That was exactly my reaction to the huge pollen load on this bee, and in truth I really didn’t see how much pollen until I brought the image up on my computer. Thanks, Teresa!
