I had a couple of goes stacking two bees nose to nose today. As as posts are a bit thin on the ground I thought would share the best of the bunch.

Lighting still not quite right and I'll have to do a better job of cleaning them up.

Very good. Lighting here would be challenging since the hairs and withdrawn limbs cause shadows. So your illumination is pretty good, considering.
These don't look like bees, but more like yellowjacket wasps.

WOW !!!! Excellent. Maybe just lighten up the the bees but keep background dark to give better contrast between bees and background. Just a thot.

Not really Robert, once I started taking stacks of over 40 I bought a pice of kit to automatically take the picture and move the camera forward.
