Bumblebee Butts

[PixelRabbit]

I wandered around the garden for a while today and there are a ton of bumblebees but not a lot of other bees, fingers crossed their numbers increase!

Seems like all the best shots were of their butts lol

This one's wings were really really black and not see through at all. It's so fluffy!!

I think I would have yelled, "hey BEEE!" And snapped it when they turned around.

Great pics, beautiful colors

Hi Judi
Nice Bumblebee butt, did you know there are 46 species of bumblebee in North America and Canada. Your flickr page you have three good butts.

Larry, I didn't know there were that many! Wow! Now I'm definitely going to watch closer for differences

Raj, zoom lens (these are with my 100-400) a steady hand and patience .

I've noticed a proliferation of bumblebees this year too - and not many other bees. I like your bee butts!
