The flowers look past their best too. He, is of course a her, as most bees that collect are sisters from a hive. The DOF is a little narrow but you can see the ragged wings from a lot of use and the details on the torso are very good. A rather sad picture.
Lovely macro capture! I especially like the beautiful lighting in this shot, and the colours. The details, including her wings are superb! Onto my DT she goes! And thank you for sharing :)
