Thanks This greedy little guy was so burdened by his load of pollen, that he hung around for quite a while.

amazing. I had issues getting a dead bug to stay in focus. You did it while he was flying. Good job.

...he's not quite dead LOL

Actually I know what you mean. I was handholding and using MF, so I took about 20 images to get these.

Wow! Look at those saddlebags full of pollen! Great 'on-the-wing' shots!

(BTW, all honey bees (and ants and wasps) you see working are females! The males usually mate---and die.)

20 Images is nothing to capture these images !
Very well done
(what aperture?)

Thanks sojourn and KristerP

Aperture is f/6.3 on these -- a bit larger than I would have wished, but I wasn't thinking straight ...
