[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Bees are four-winged, flower-feeding insects. They have enlarged hind feet, branched or feathered body hairs, and generally a stinger. Honeybees and bumblebees are the most common. Bumblebees are larger and stronger than honeybees. Bees are beneficial insects because they produce honey and pollinate crops.

The honeybee is very popular. It has been adopted by at least sixteen states as the state insect.
Honeybees (or hive bees) are in the animalia kingdom, the arthropoda phylum, the insecta class, the hymenoptera order and the apoidea family. Beekeepers are sometimes called apiarists. Honeybees and bumblebees (apidae subfamily) are social bees and live in colonies. Solitary bees make their own small family nests.

There are 10,0000 - 20,000 species of bee including many wasplike and flylike bees. Most bees are small from 2 mm (.08 inches) long to 4 cm (1.6 inches) long. Bees and wasps are closely related. The main difference is that bees provide their young with pollen and honey, while wasps eat animal food, insects, or spiders. In addition, wasps have unbranched hairs.

Wonderful macro capture, my friend, Horia!
It can be a potential macro capture of the day too :)
I like the impeccable sharpness and a beautiful color contrast between the bee's colors and the lovely pink colored flower. The POV is just wonderful and the DOF is very well done. The eyes of the bee are superbly shown.

A great work which should be highly appreciated!

best greetings from Germany,
Paras

PS: I don't have more smileys for today :( Sorry!

Hi Horia,
I love bumblebee photos- this is a great macro. Excellent POV, with such refined details. BIG eyes and well composed. Good use of light. TFS Julie

Hi Horia,

Your bumble bee macro is excellent. The diagonal capture of the flower and bee is very sharp. The neutral background complements the bees coloring nicely. TFS

Seara buna !
Excelenta imagine. Bine ca albinele mai lucreaza ca altfel ... ar creste si pretul la miere. Super compozitie.
Iti doresc o seara linistita,

Hi Horia!

I just can't imagine ever taking a photo like this....maybe when I grow up. I feel like a baby in photography.

Amazing clarity!

We need more bees here. They've been dying off for some reason. The killer bee doesn't seem to be doing us much good.
