Buzzy as a Bee

The honey bees seem to be making a comeback here in Southern California, if this plant is any indication. Must have been a couple hundred buzzing around it. Somehow, only one showed up in this shot.

Love the outline of his wings Ron. Nice shot

I had to come looking for your bee shot, and this is bee-a-utiful!! Yes, they must be making a comeback, at least in both our yards! In mine they seem to congregate to the yellow flowers....I usually find them at the sunflowers, and now at the fennel seeds.

i see some blurry ones, but i sometimes doubt what my eyes see. :-) as my good friend osia wrote: bee-u-tiful!

Lovely composition, lighting and presentation Ron, Honey Bee numbers are in decline in the UK such a pity, "we need the honey mummy" :)

[Chris Johnson]

So cool how you caught the motion of the wings! Outstanding shot!!

[Rachel]

Wonderful shot! We seem to have had a lot of bees here in Australia too. I wonder if the population is getting back to normal.

@terryliv Thanks Terry. I'm pretty amazed that there was that much motion at 1/160 seconds! No wonder they buzz!

@gilbertwood @panthora @summerfield OK, did you guys plan that together. Bee-u-tiful coordination among the three of you. Thank you kindly!

[Ron]

@pcoulson I appreciate the comments, Peter. Let's hope that they are able to make a comeback worldwide!

[Ron]

@cjphoto Thank you kindly, Chris. I wish I could say I planned that, but in truth a happy accident. I'll take it though!

[Ron]

@888rachel Much obliged for the comment, Rachel. It sure would be nice if the comeback is real.

very beautiful shot!
