KillerPix📷Contest #38 bees - mining bee at worksteemCreated with Sketch.

in #killerpix6 years ago (edited)

This is my contribution to @killerwhale #killerpix photography contest
I made these in my garden this morning with my Sony A7II + reversed rokkkor 28mm 3.5 + 16mm extension tube to get a bit closer to the bee.
This is a mining bee that lives solitary and not in a swarm, the dig holes in the ground lay eggs and add some food for the larves.

Here you can see the bee harvesting food from the campanula flowers,

See?! Chubby bee! Also so hairy... feel the need to pet it but its a really bad idea! 😅

these don't really sting they sit on your hands sometimes

My bees are not that friendly!
