Where's the hive?

This honeybee was heading for home all covered with pollen from the dandelion flowers in the paddock. I'm surprised he knew where he was going!

I bought my self a macro lens today, so this goes into my favs :)

[Dianne]

@siwainastromoy macro lenses are fun and very frustrating - it takes a while to get used to the very fine focus - I'm still learning lots…. have a look at @kporte - he is a super dooper macro photographer!
