More bees, bumbling ones this time

[ocrdu]

Lunch by the roadside:

^{Olympus XZ-1, 28mm, ISO100, f4, 1/100s}

Hanging on for dear life in a storm:

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO400, f8, 1/125s}

Oops:

^{Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/40s}

An old and tired one. Note that most mites on bumblebees are just hitch-hikers and don't feed on their host. If there are too many, however, they can prevent the bumblebee from flying by their weight. This bumblebee does look like it is tragically tired and infested with parasites, though, a bit like Steemit:

I don't want to leave you with that image, so here's another one; Spot the Bumblebee:

Thanks for watching!

Nice closeup shots, what lens are you using?

[ocrdu]

The one firmly stuck to my bridge camera.

[helios]

lol not bad for a bridge, I started with a Canon S3 IS, I had a lot of fun with it

[ocrdu]

I sort of ended with a bridge camera, they are quite good for macro and I became too lazy to carry the big stuff around all the time.
