KillerPix📷Contest #38 bees - mining bee at work
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,

#4 the good stuff is always at the bottom ..
i know the contest says 2 images but it's a shame to break up a nice serie ;)
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!
hmm probably your aftershave :P
