I do love the first one.Reminded me of .................
Yesterday, watching Countryfile, there was a quick snapshot of articles to come and was it Ron Hoskings?.....sorry saw it from the corner of my eye as wasn't paying attention........ Hubby asked what they were doing and when I said AI Queen bees he didn't believe me.

Terrific

I could look at shots like those all day

The first one is class! A sure winner. You should get it on Getty Images.

Thanks folks for your really kind comments and friendly welcome to the forum- just waiting for some sunny weather so I can take some more..

 

[Firefly]

Even the name of the image is excellent! Top marks. Do you have a picasa/flickr album where we can admire the rest of your collection?

Fantastic photos, what camera/lens did you use?

Ps I am not that technical but can appreciate the quality of your photographs.

Should you wish to take some photos inside a hive you are more than welcome to visit my Apiary. I can provide a spare smock if you do not have one. I am not to far away from you in Ravenshead Notts.

Thank you for your kind offer- the camera is a Nikon D80 with a sigma DG Macro 105mm lens on spot metering with Manual focus ( spent a while waiting for the Bee among the chives!!!)

Here's a bee on a Lupin flower.
Not as good as Chives but I like it

 

[kathrynat]

Beautiful photo. The pale pink of the lupin really emphasises the bee. I wish I was half as talented.

 

[Erichalfbee]

It's upside down really......Amazing how they cling on.
My hebe is alive with bees.....so nice to see them working away in the sunshine after a month of rain.

 

[Easy Beesy]

MORE PLEASE! wish I had more time to stand and stare.............

 

[Erichalfbee]

What camera?

Hi Chive,
I use a Canon EOS500D and I also have a Macro lens, spent lots of hard earned £ But I still can't match what you have on here.
Can you tell me Camera details please.
Thanks and I will keep trying.
Great Pics, Post as many times as you like we all enjoy great pics.
OH and good luck with your bees.
Bob.
