Beautiful series. They are not easy to shoot but fun when you get the shots that make the cut. I had bought an Olympus 3.2 MP point and shoot used for $75.00. It was only a 5X zoom but a killer macro. I took a lot of macros in my yard and bees were one of them. For every 100 bee photos I took 80 were worth deleting, 20 were passable 10 were fine and 5 to 3 were fantastic. Is it any wonder that camera lasted 5 years before it gave up the ghost?

You know the saying, "Persistence pays off." Well your persistence sure paid off, Jim!

Amazing!! Could you send a few of those bees across the pond to us; our hives in the US have been decimated.

Definitely loved the downloads. Don't know which is more beautiful -- the bees or the flowers. Wonderful set and great captures. Mahalo for sharing.

Morning Bluechris and thanks for taking the time to look in and comment I always appreciate Glad you liked them.To be honest i love taking photos of the bees and find it very therapeutic especially when I get a good shot in.It's like being on a firing range at the fairground and every so often you win a prize.I love it.
