Here is one of many many bumblebees in my garden. Couple days ago when the grass on my lawn was high there was many Dandelion and I have so many bumblebees buzzes around :) I almost felt bad and guilty when I take my lawnmower and cut the grass. So I let some of the flowers stand to the bumblebees. I could not take their food :))) In full screen you can see all the pollen he had on his legs and even on his head :))) Taken with my Olympus 765 set on supermacro mode, 1/800sec., f/4.0, ISO 64 Thanks to all who view and comment. I really appreciate it.

I never saw a Swedish Bumble Bee before and that is one fine specimen. Very nice. What is "buzz" in Swedish?

A great macro image. The color, depth of field and composition is very good. I love it.

Great close up shot Mariana - and that is a very fuzzy buzzy.
You are so kind caring about the bees' food :)

He's really quite engaged in his work, the little guy. Only has one season to get his work done. Another fantastic close up!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes
