My First BEE shots

[Nikon_Josh]

I've just really started getting into Macro, have alot to learn stlll. But I spent a few hours taking photos of my favourite insect--- Bees!

Sadly the the one of bee in flight is very tight near the top and could use more space! But was glad just to get it in flight.

Get rid of the nasty bee in the first one and you have a nice flower shot. Haha kidding I think Mishele is rubbing off on me. Good job on the shots.

Thanks very much guys! Really appreciate the positivity!

Haha, mwcfarms! I like bees, one insect I refuse to take any photos of though is the Dreaded Wasp. A wasp in my mind really is a good way to ruin a photograph!

I have a nest of bees living in my house. And these are huge motherF*&kers. We found the first next in a roofing tile in the basement. Drop ceiling right but I still have them somewhere. They are an inch and a half long and as wide as my big toe. I fricking hate bees right now.
