This little Bumblebee (genus Bombus, in the family Apidae) was working so hard that I don't think he noticed the camera. In the spring/summer months, the buzz from all the workers is almost deafening!

Nice picture, but I would like to have seen it much larger. 595x549 doesn't do it justice.

very cool bee, i wish it had more contrast though, maybe zoom in closer too, but i can see why keeping a distance is smart.

Fine as is. It is an image not a apiary study.

Was this hanging from an arbor? Would be wonderful looking out and seeing this. Really nice shot, maybe a little light on the right side, but nice capture.
