This week after trying for days..... I finally got a bee =)
I caught this one sunning itself. I got off a couple shots before it flew up on the wall.

Of course it flew up and landed about 9 feet up on the wall. This causes me to stand on a stool on my tiptoes to get the next shots. A lot were out of focus due to the old man wobbling around on his tiptoes O.o

It's late afternoon and the temperature is dropping so this little bee needs to fly home soon or...

Seems I have an audience <,<

The bee was staying put so I grabbed my macro tubes and hooked up the 31 mm for the next shot.
A little too much with 31 mm as the lens is almost touching the bee,

This fly is now stalking me <,< It landed on me 3 times and will not be shooed away >,>
I'm sorry but it may have to die O.o

For this last one I dropped down to a 21 mm tube and that seemed to work better with this lens.

Yay! You got the bee and it is beautiful. You better bee careful and stay off of stools, chairs, ladders, etc. : ) Great fly photo too. You have daffodils and skippers already?!?! I am so jealous.
Hey @whatisnew yeah I saw a skipper today as well.
I don't have any blooms in my garden yet, just got done setting it up a month early lol
Thank you for your daffodil flowers, they are beautiful.
Yupi! He got a bee and a fly. He made excellent photos.
I could also get something not so good. regards @chromiumone.
Thanks @gertu always a pleasure.
Been after that bee for days O.o couldn't get it to land for more than a second or two.
The fly on the other hand would go away lol
Jajaja. It is better for the fly to go away.
I instead chased a bee and never let it be photographed closely.
I saw a black butterfly, I think it's a moth, that was allowed to take pictures. And that is a story to tell.
