Flight of the Bumblebee

Published by Andy at 9:14 am under Flower, Insects, Macro

I was shooting photos around the house the other day and was zoomed way in on this flower with my new Tamron 70-300 lens when I saw a bee starting to buzz around it. I quickly aimed the camera to the flower he was flying towards and ended up getting this shot. It is the first time I have taken a picture of a bee in flight this close before and I like how you can even see the bee’s antennas and wings.

    Those bumblebees love those rhododendrum blooms! I was gardening the other day, and when I walked up to my rhod…it was FULL of bumblebees, just like this one! Nice photo!
