Bee collecting pollen from this very unique looking flower. I thought he was just trying to hide from me.

Wasn't sure where to put this one...flowers, insects....what. Well since the flower is about 2 inches across, I thought this might be appropriate

This is a pro shot for sure. Just like in Nat-Geo. The bee is in perfect focus, except for it's head. LOL. Excellent color and clarity throughout. Fantastic work, Paul.

Got this in the VB and thought it the cutest thing! Wonderful image, Paul. It looks like he's taking a nap under his blankie when in fact, he's getting down to the business of what bees do. Wonderful post of exceptional quality.

I believe it is a Mexican Bumble Bee Opie. He is taking a siesta. This must have been taken around midday. I hope you stuck around to get a photo of him wearing his sombrero.

What a clear shot and the coloring with the shadows and light is great. Good post.

You've got the camera working at it's best. Great clarity and detail in this macro, I think the bee is more interested in a snack than hiding.

Go this in the VB and thought it was so lovely. My first thought was 'does my bum look big in this?' Must be a very confident bee :)
