Cool Macro Lens got to love'em
Okay so I got up close and personal with this bee today. I don't think that he really mind me, taking his picture. He hung around for awhile, even with me only inches away. I love the fact that you can see him probing the flower, and a the hairs on his legs. Also all the flecks of pollen covering his body.
