Hi. First time posting pics in this thread.
I mostly take pics of cosplayers in anime conventions, and post those at Animesuki cosplay thread. These shots are mostly coincidence.. first time I've ever seen bees actually visiting flowers, so I dashed inside and grabbed my cam. Fortunately, there's some leftover batteries from the last anime convention.
First pic:
Taken with me standing on the ground. Already at full magnification. My cam isn't really for long distance outdoor photography.. the bee can be seen if you examine the middle of the pic.
Second pic:
Took a chair and stood on it, as well as trying to get closer.
Got a shot on one of the bees here. It's busy with it's job.
