This is one of my favorite photos. It was taken in the garden of a plantation outside of Charleston. I was taking photos of the lovely flowers when this huge bee started buzzing around. I followed him from flower to flower and got several wondeful shots, but this is my favorite. If you look closely there is also an ant on the flower. Apparently it was a very popular bud that morning. /
was shooting macros of this wildflower in cades cove, when i got the treat of three varities of bees sharing the wildflower (think is part of the cone family, its really cool!), unfortunately this year, 2007, was a very very rough year for ALL the wildlife and nature in the smoky mountains, due to no rain, and a freak freeze around easter. the freeze killed everything that had already bloomed, so it was very odd to see species that normally dont hang out together, tolerating each other just to eat. shot this macro using a nikon diopter lens attached to a canon 75-300mm lens

I was trying the macro setting on my 70-300mm lens in a field of flowers surrounded by these buzzing Bumbles. I am definetly going to invest in a dedicated macro lens… any suggestions as to what to get? I use a Canon 400D.

This is the typical Great British Bumble Bee. I am not too sure whether they look the same around the world but this one is from England. Mr. Bumble was having a whale of a time busy buzzing about collecting pollen from our Buddleia in the back garden yesterday. They are so hard to shoot as they won’t stay still long enough. I have never really been that close to a bee before and seeing him in macro was a wow for me, he is so cuddly I just want to hug him. Thanks for looking.

Matted Print Sold – Thank you! I spent countless hours the past 2 summers trying to obtain that certain bee in flight shot. I have several images but none of them were quite what I had hoped for and envisioned. The 70-200 faster lens was used, the macro with and without flash – every shutter speed setting, DOF, you name it…I tried it! I also assumed I could not obtain a focused in flight shot using my macro, with flash, and a 1/200 ss. I believe I was wrong :o) Even with the proper settings, and prime conditions, obtaining the proper timing with these busy little bees is an art in itself! / Bugs are Beautiful / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST /
September 2008 / East greenbush, N.Y. Conservation Information / A bumblebee (or bumble bee) is any member of the bee genus Bombus, in the family Apidae; there are over 250 known species primarily occurring in the Northern Hemisphere. / Bumblebees are social insects that are characterized by black and yellow body hairs, often in bands. However, some species have orange or red on their bodies, or may be entirely black. Another obvious (but not unique) characteristic is the soft nature of the hair (long, branched setae), called pile, that covers their entire body, making them appear and feel fuzzy. They are best distinguished from similarly large, fuzzy bees by the form of the female hind leg, which is modified to form a corbicula; a shiny concave surface that is bare, but surrounded by a fringe of hairs used to transport pollen (in similar bees, the hind leg is completely hairy, and pollen grains are wedged into the hairs for transport). / Like their relatives the honey bees, bumblebees feed on nectar and gather pollen to feed their young.(wiki) / Olympus E510
Shot this in the gardens of Sizergh castle and what beautiful gardens they were… /
Just a cute little bee.

So, me and my wonderful Bumble B thought it would be simply awesome if she came round my house for a mass photography sesh. So, we did. Canon 450D, I fiddled with the colours but otherwise unedited, so how do you think I did it? Featured in: / Young Enthusiasts x2 / RedBubble Homepage – 3rd June 2009! / Sold 1 Greeting Card!
