No matter where you are in the world, there are bees. Lets see your best bee images.

Hi Robbie,

Nice bees! I also had a look at your other photos at Photobucket and found the 'weaver' to be very cute too!

Thanks,
Yildiz

Hi Robbie, your #2 with all of the pollen is awesome. Great shot.

Not in the same league as that one, but here is one of mine from the recent Beercan thread.

Thanks Yildiz. Only use photobucket when I have to post an image from a web address.

Nice pic Birma. Portrait crop would remove some of the "business". Bee nice and sharp.

Thanks Gustav. Waiting eagerly for your images.

That's fabulous Roger - the detail of the wing structure and the hairs on the bee's body are great - quite a pale coloured bee though? Please tell me that was with a macro lens?

Thanks for your comment

Sony Alpha a700 with Sony 100mm f2.8 macro lens and I believe the species is Anthophora furcata


They do come in various shades and some are more ginger than others.


The lighting is different here (both photos taken a couple of days ago) but the bee was a different colour.

Wow - another great picture Roger. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely pictures we have here. Thanks everyone.

Wow Roger. What fantastic detail. Pin sharp. Exactly what I had in mind when I started the thread.

Here's a bee (sort of...)

Nice one Zeb.

Gosh, now I don't know what my next lens will be... 16-80Z? 100M? Why do you all make this so hard? Wonderful shots, guys.
