Olympus E-510. Zuiko 100mm. 1/400 f8. ISO 100. Auto focus wouldn’t lock on fast enough for this so I had to go manual focus. It took about 100 shots before I got it!

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. I will donate 100% of proceeds from the sales of this image to The Wildlife Trusts

These little guys are just as fast as a hummingbird and almost as large. They also look similar to bumblebees. It was a bit of a challenge to get a decent photo of one. I hope to try again soon to see if I can shoot in a little better lighting condition. This photo was taken about three miles north of Newport, which is about 30 miles north of Harrisburg.

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 /

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

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.

I kinda feel this cute little guy is a kindred spirit right now, I’m a busy bumblebee too! So this is another fly by posting. I have always loved these fuzzy creatures. They are sweet and cuddly like those toy bees you see in the shops. They scare the crap out of me when they zoom in out of nowhere and sound like a 747 jumbo about to land on my head! Life is good. Hell busy. But good :) Save the cheerleader, save the world!

O suns and skies and clouds of June, / And flowers of June together, / Ye cannot rival for one hour / October’s bright blue weather; When loud the bumblebee makes haste, / Belated, thriftless vagrant, / And goldenrod is dying fast, / And lanes with grapes are fragrant….

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

Photo taken in my garden at home in the first reaches of spring.This bee was still very slow moving, so early in the year. I managed a nice trio of close-ups as it inspected the blooms of the early spring bulbs. / Camera Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 / Macro mode / Hoya +4 and +1 diopters / f/4, 1/125s, ISO 100 featured in Plight of the Bumble Bee April 3 2009

This drowsy bumblebee holds on to a thistle, warming himself in the early morning sun at the Cranberry Peatlands Interpretive Trail near Crosier, Ontario. For this shot I used a Konica-Minolta 7D with a Tamron 90 mm f2.8 macro lense sitting on a Manfrotto tripond with a Kirk ballhead. Shot at 100 ISO f5.6.
