Default A bee visiting a daisy!

I took those photos last summer. This is a bee (I think ;-) ) visiting a daisy. He has a visitor too, a little mosquito. It's like David and Goliath, but I think this time Goliath won!!
Have fun!







Have a nice day!

That bee looks large enough to destroy buildings

Beautiful shots and the dark background really makes them stand out.

Those are great! I love the first one - it looks so staged, but you just can't stage that sort of stuff!

Fantastic pics of the bee. I think the little fella is a bush bee. I have seen similar to this when photographing bees in Queensland, Australia. Thanks for sharing. Clive.
