ground bee with pollen

my first ground bee of this year , taken with macro it was kind enough to sit up on the flower with all that pollen and look straight at the lens, I do like cooperative insects!!

This guy has really taken its jobs seriously with all that polen. I haven't realized this kind of shots were possible at all. Great shot!

Wow! That's an awesome shot Adrian!! I love good macro shots.

I don't own a proper macro lense myself but I've played around with a macro extension tube. I found it really difficult to get a decent depth of field though. Do you mind if I ask what your exposure was for this and what lense you use?

It really does help when you come across the co-operative insects doesn't it? :o)

Wow! what a wonderful macro capture, to see the pollen on the bee. Adrian I don't know how you do it, this should be in a nature book of some kind.

My daughter and I really really liked your picture. She wanted you to know that it inspired her to draw her first picture of a bee!! (She's only three... she likes to leave comments via Mommy on flickr).

She's now off to visit bee.com according to her. :)
