jayclar30 (59) 6 years ago

LOL, thank you! Well we're only new to beekeeping... and very much learning along the way... does that help? Does that make it any better? ; ) Other than the fact I could go and lift the lid to photograph one, I think I could find better photo ops in my MIL's garden, lol. I think where the advantage is that I'm not so scared of getting really close to them now.

7 months ago I would only look through the glass at them. Then I started going outside but would run around the backyard screaming like the girl I am :D but now... I'm getting more and more confident. They don't want to get me as much as I don't want them to get me. We have this mutual understanding : )

I'm not scared of bees either. I like taking the macro shots with extension tubes on them so I get within an inch or two of them. I have even laid under a yellow jacket nest and gotten some shots. I have found as long as you don't make crazy movements or bother them, they usually leave you alone.

jayclar30 (59) 6 years ago

I remember you talking about these extension tubes, I think I looked it up then, I'm going to have to do it again and I can't remember them! I am getting that close now with just my macro on and they're not too concerned by me. Occasionally I might get a bump or three... which is them telling me to back off! : ) And when they're telling me, I listen! :D

Oh I just looked yellow jackets up... they look amazing, a little scarier looking but GREAT colours!!!

I sat watching a bee in my MIL's garden through the lens of my camera for about 10 minutes the other week, it was the most amazing thing. See how there is pollen all over your bee? The bee I was watching was covered in pollen also, it then sat on the petal of a cosmo flower and it started preening itself with it's little arms, rubbing the full length of it's body and gathering up all the pollen that was all over it's body. It even rolled over onto its back to do its tummy. Never have I seen a bee do this... the things you get to see when you take the time! : ) Your photo reminded me on this...

So glad you picked this theme, we were just looking at some old pics and I really like this shot. The camera was brand new then and this kind of close up was something our old camera would never have done.
