A busy bee

Today I've been busy gardening but I wasn't alone.

I've posted this second picture to show you the fruits of his labour.

Just see the fullness of the pollen sacs on his hind legs.

It's the best insect [ bee I suppose ] that I've seen for a very long time. It is unbelievably sharp. The sacs are very clearly defined and the blossom out weeks ahead of that here.
Out classed by the poet and photographer ! David.

I was surrounded by them! But they seemed too busy to bother me - thank goodness.

I'm glad I managed to capture the pollen sacs.

An incredible shot in mid February; indeed at any time ! David.

Thank you - there's an orchard just in front of my house so I only had to step out of my garden.

Please try macro on the bees but don't get stung ! From 6 or so inches away your nose may be a target. David.

I've already had my nose that close! Living life dangerously eh? :))

When the weather warms up the bees move faster ! So be very careful ! David.

Oh these were fair shifting! :))

They're well advanced those blossoms aren't they?

Freshly caught today - if you look at my "half-cut" posting you can just see the white blossom tree in the top right of the shot. There are two white blossom trees and a pink one but the pink one is in tight bud. I'll get that one in a week or two.

I might post a couple more shots later. :yes:

I've just come from there... :)

Thank you - I even surprised myself! I nearly didn't bother taking any! :no:

Excellent :yes: Very sharp focussing, lovely colours and white not too bright.

Thank you - I nearly didn't take them as I've been told how difficult it is to photo white objects!
