The humble bumble bee

"Wee hoverin’, fleein’ ferlie fello’,

wi’ yer stripes o’ black and yello’,

yer ever sae bonnie, so ye ur,

like a spring lamb – only smaller and withoot the fur,

but see if ye ever sting me oan the bum again,

Ah’m gonnae jump on yer heid so Ah um. "

I think the macro on your new camera passed with flying colours - great shot.

I agree with Michelle!

@michelle58 Thanks - I took about 15 shots inside on the vase of flowers and the flowers were always in focus but the bee wasn't. So I moved the vase outside complete with bee and was able to get the focus.

This is so cool!!! How did you get the bee bigger than the flowers?? SECOND fav!

Great bee shot! I love close-ups of bees, they all look different. Yours has longer "fur?" than the ones I've taken.
