Bees

Last Labour Day weekend, my sister-in-law invited us for an outdoor BBQ. We brought the salad, she cooked the burgers, and nature brought the bees. I initially planned to take pictures of the marigolds, but quickly discovered the bees were all over the flowers. I felt brave enough to get close (as close as a zoom lens allowed) and got some pictures of the busy bees. I also took some video, but I haven't taken that off the camera yet. All pictures taken with my Sony alpha 5000 using 55-210mm F4.5-6.3 OSS lens. A small bee pollinating a small pink flower. ƒ/6.3, shutter speed 1/400, 210.0mm, ISO 1600.
