When I got home from work, I saw this little fella just sitting there. So I tried to get as close as possible and took a shot.

I’ll just get these out of the way:
I BEE loving this.
This BEE very good work.
This made me HapBEE.
I give it a BEE plus.
How did you manage to BEE so close?
This shot is unBEEliveable.
That’s a Killer Bee!
I am Andrew, killer of puns!
I think it’s bee-utiful.
I am also Andrew, bringer of puns!
it’s far braver than I could manage, even with a great zoom. I’d BEE fifty yards away.
it’s still awesome
nice shoot man its a lil old honey bee so there isnt much to be scared of now its blue to brown to dark color thats a bumble bee way different much more risky. :P Those dont sting and die. What kinda lens where u using btw?
She’s a beauty! What a wonderful picture Hawk!!! :DDD
This calls for a wallpaper,
1440×900 and 1680×1050 pls :)
Nice still! I was kinda hopin’ for a Bee moobie tho…
I guess all artists get this same desire to photo Bees. Onezumi did something similar awhile ago also: Wings.
Nice pic. That’s a girl bee. Worker bee, specifically. Drones can be found outside the hive, but they never collect pollen/nectar. Nor can they sting. Their sole purpose is reproduction, and they die after successful mating (because their bits are torn out…ouch). Additionally, when food supply is about to drop in the fall, because of less pollen/nectar being gathered, the worker bees (all girls, of course) drive all the drones out of the colony, where they die. This happens any other time food becomes scarce.
Nice shot! What kind of lens are you using with that D90?
i used a micro 60mm lens
Good shot of a helpful bee, back ground is good. If you get a chance, try the 100 or 110 macro lens. You dodn’t have to get so close. Just goes to show you, you can find a good shot anywhere!
DAAAAAAMN! I want your camera.. if I get this close with mine (even with a macro) its all fuzzy. really great shot, man.
Hawk dear, those are cupcakes, not brownies. Cake batter + muffin shape = cupcakes. Brownies are chocolate squares of deliciousness.
Great pic!
that is awsome. mini hawk riding it would bee even better. bee honest, it would bee cool.
dadoomching! Seriously though.. mini-Hawk riding it would make for an awesome wallpaper. To work I say!
Wow, they’re not so freaky when they’re standing still…
Of course that could just bee that it’s a picture….
(I’m sorry, I had to put one in somewhere)
Bees are scary…
The picture is really pretty, but I don’t think you could pay me to get anywhere near one of them.
E-pins are too expensive anyway.
