Default Making Honey

HI all I have been trying to capture the Honey Bee for quite some time now without a lot of success. But, yesterday I managed to get one worth posting. I hope you like it. This is pretty much SOOC.

Thanks for looking.

Busy Bee

Jake.

Wonderful!
You are more patient than I, Jake. I tried last night to get a bee and everytime I finally got him in focus, he moved. It's maddening, I tell you, maddening.
