Bees are one of my most favourite things to photograph. The yellow and black stripes, the golden wings that glow in the sunshine, and of course the delicious honey. Buzz Buzz ?
I get really happy and excited when I see bees buzzing around flowers and collecting pollen. I can watch them for ages. Sometimes I lose track of time and don’t realise how long I’ve been chasing them around with my phone or camera.
I recently took a slow motion video of a bee flying from one daisy to another and absolutely love how majestic it looks.
I have also noticed that bees look different around the world. The bees in England are my favourite because they are huge and fluffy and twice the size of the ones I usually see in Australia.
Coool topic @PennyChristie I was buzzy thinking about a post on them too. No need for that now. Yes I chase them, study them and protect them. As you might know there not doing well globally seen.
HAHA That’s so funny @BorrisS I agree, bees are definitely very tricky to get a photo of but I’ve been practicing a lot over the years. I do not, however have a photo of a snail in my camera roll, so I might have to go look for those elusive slippery little guys
The Pantaloon bee females have hirsute hind legs of which ‘swell’ up with pollen, deposited in the golden hairs of the hind tibiae as the bee forages making them look as if they are wearing pantaloons.The “pantaloons” make the females highly distinctive and easy to identify.
