Thanks,
These speedlites are pretty clever bits of kit when you start to learn how to use them!

How cool! I'm very familiar with leaf cutter ants, but hadn't heard of bees. Super shot.

It was weird as I had never seen one before.
I was speaking to my neighbour who was telling me they had taken over his unused greenhouse.
Then ten minutes later I noticed this one on my patio!

Spectacular. Thanks for sharing that, and particularly for the download. The full size image knocked my socks off and curled my toes...
