Luckily, the bees didn't care if it was dark and raining today!

Honey Bee (Apis)
W. Kentucky, USA - 9/24/2018
1/400 - f/8.0 - ISO 1600

Interesting Tidbit: Honey bees must gather nectar from two million flowers to make one pound of honey.
One bee has to fly about 90,000 miles – three times around the globe – to make one pound of honey.
The average bee will make only 1/12th of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. ~Matter of Trust~

Good close up. Seems a little noisy to me with a ISO of only 1600. vz

Nice image, but I'm not convinced that is a honey bee, looks a bit like a bumble bee to me.

Interesting facts on a Honey Bee, coupled with an outstanding super sharp image.
