Simply stunning — the beautiful bee! I must say — you’ve got far more courage than I, getting close enough to take photos like these!
The colour’s lovely. You only think of dragonflies as having gauzy wings, never bees – how did you shoot this?
50mm 1/1.4 lens with a close-up attachment. about 20-25 cm from the subject.
Did you know that the sting is mechanical and a therefore a dead Bee can also sting? Watch out, Jai!
Is that salvia? It’s gorgeous!
he has supplemental insurance to protect against my stings. yeah, it’s salvia. – b.
Reading the title in google reader I thought you had clicked some snaps of bee (I mean your better half
)
Gorgeous pics!
Stunning photos…are these pictures taken in your backyard??…:)
yes, it’s in our yard. – b.
Amazing photos, lovely colour for Salvias.
Never dared to see the Bee so closely, but this Bee is really beautiful.
Lovely photos Bee. Viji
After your “morphed photo” post, i was half expecting to see some other ” Bee ” …;-)

SO that’s another avatar of our dear BEE!! Dangerously close is what I’d say, I’ve been stung by a bee on my thumb tip in a plastic store, you can imagine my plight in a wild place

Beautiful. Bumble Bee too. Did you hear about the disease that is killing off bees, they were talking about honey bees I think, in large number and worrying farmers.
