Listen Buzzy, I normally eat much smaller bugs but if you don't move from blocking my landing on the feeder I am willing to give "big bug" a taste test.

I get a lot of bees at my nectar feeders and water dishes. This one seems to have cut off a Hummingbird who was not in the mood for it.

90D, Tamron 150-600 G2 @ 600, 1/800 @ f/8.0, ISO-1600
Not a great shot but I am in the mood for humor in my pictures. Strong back lighting and I forgot to use fill flash.

Those little birds are quick to get rid of the bees. Very nice shot and I'm sure the flash will be on next time.

Very nice set Robert, trying to get a good shot of a hummer in flight is difficult enough but you got a bee companion too.
