Fantastic shot kerri. You can even see a drop of nectar on her proboscis. You need to be quick on the draw to get a shot like this fine photo.
ReplyDeleteHoneybees are actually kind of cute when you can see them up close ~ I'm not too keen on wasps though! I was bitten by one two summers in a row ~ not fun!!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo ~ love the marcro lens ~ I haven't used mine for awhile ~ you inspire me to bring it out again! :)
Have a lovely evening!

What a magnificent macro!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what kind of bee this is except that it is gorgeous.You do a wonderful job with that macro.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,Ruth
Looks like a honeybee to me - well captured shot!
ReplyDeleteFabulous capture.
ReplyDeleteKerri, the detail on the head & wings are exquisite. You most definitely excel at macro photography. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photographs.
ReplyDeleteHow very true that when we put the camera in front of our eye, suddenly everything is of interest and we aren't as afraid or grossed out by things that we used to be! Great shot of the bee!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking honey bee too. Mostly by the golden honey color of the body.
ReplyDeleteI shot bee's sometimes too but I'm still not thrilled with them. Most of the time they just want whats in the flower, not behind the camera ; )
I don't know much about bees but it looks like honeybee. What a gorgeous shot! Oh yah tell me about it even spider it's already included in my files.lol

Awesome capture, bees are so important to our world. Thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how lovely they are up close and personal!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteForgive me if I've mentioned this book before, but I think you'd enjoy "The Secret Life of Bees".
Wow! This is great, Kerri!
ReplyDeletebeautiful shot. this is a fabulous detailed macro.
ReplyDeleteWow....you're brave...even with a macro shot, I don't think I could get that close to one...allergic reaction if I'm stung.
ReplyDeleteMy macro is one of the best things in life....my grandson's teeny tiny hand at age 1.
Stop by if you can, I'd love your company today.
stunning!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing what photography allows you to overcome? The photo becomes more compelling than the fear. Great shot.
ReplyDeleteYou amaze me every time with your photos!!
ReplyDeleteI used to be afraid of bees too! I stepped on a yellow jackets' nest when I was young, and that instilled the fear. I've been working on overcoming the fear though, and you are right that photography really helps!
ReplyDeleteAwesome shot! I also love your bird shots below. You are a talent!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo Kerri! Neat to hear what photography can help people overcome!
ReplyDeleteBeutiful, hairy little one! Sharp and excellent shot!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how a camera can transform an experience. This is a great shot.
ReplyDeleteI used to feel the same way! Who knew that a camera could help one overcome long-held phobias! Great photo, Kerri. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way with the bugs and bee's (and flowers and trees - couldn't resist).
ReplyDeleteMacro brings life to the surface :)
GREAT SHOT.
Kerri, thanks for your comment over at mine - I know that you love benches, in fact I thought of you as I posted it!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shot. Love the colors and the little water droplets!
ReplyDeleteWow this is super macro. Love it very much! Your wish list at the right corner is my wish list too hehe. Happy Monday!

Magical! And yes, it sure is a honeybee.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a Honey to me. There are lots of fruit trees in bloom this year, and that should make the bees and keepers happy.
ReplyDeleteAwesome shot Kerri.

It is amazing how brave a camera can make us feel. Just to get that shot we will push aside our fears. Lovely bee!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's nice! I mean the fact that you're no longer scared of tiny creatures. The photo is more than nice - it's great!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great shot! And brave, too, seeing as you're afraid of bees. And I think it is indeed a honeybee.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by at mine!
Lovrly shot, Kerri.
ReplyDeleteI think intriguing is the right word to use regarding the smaller creatures. Their anatomy and appearance is just amazing.
