Busy Bee

This is a Borer Bee that loves to bore into my house, sheds and barn. They are very busy driving me crazy!

Stunning image Kathy the detail is superb and I love the pink which seems to envelope the bee: they may drive you crazy but they are becoming an endangered species over here (pesticides) What lens do you use ?

@paul2782 Thank you Paul, sorry to hear your bees are disappearing. I used my 105mm Micro lens. I seem to use this lens mostly since there are so many flowers and little creatures about. Glad you are out of your bed and breakfast.

lovely photo - I love wandering through gardens trying to spot beautiful insects to photograph. You need patience to get a great photo as most are so busy and quick lol

[Paul King]

@kathyladley fabulous lens then but only as good as its user : it's good to be free :-)

[Stephen]

Nice close-up despite its peskiness...

Looks like a crash landing

[KAL]

@lesip Leslie, That is funny! He does look like he is crash landing, but he is really flying while eating!

[Gena Pegg]

Wow! He looks in love!! Great shot!!!

[Nita]

Great capture and wonderful detail.

[Wendy]

Such colourful shot! Very good capture.

[Deanna Russell]

Great detail and I like the wing movement!

[Susan]

Sorry he is driving you crazy, but at least he gave you such a wonderful photo op. :)

Lovely macro shot. I've been scouring the garden for bugs but they're either hiding or they're too fast. Perhaps a snail? :)

[Cathy]

He looks like he just plunged into that flower! I imagine that is quieter than when he is boring into the wood! That boring sound drives me crazy!

Did not realize they did that. Nice shot though
