Bumblebee Macrophotography - #adsactly #wildanimalcontest - Nikon D5300

in #adsactly6 years ago (edited)

I have recently been out and bought some bee friendly flowers for my garden as the hot weather has grounded so many bumblebees in the UK. We are just not used to this weather!

Here is my entry to the #wildanimalcontest with a Queen Bumblebee that I saved in the garden with sugar water and new bee friendly flowers...

Don't forget to click the image for the full screen effect...

I named her Bertie, but that was before I researched bees and realised she is actually a queen lol

This image is my own taken with my Nikon D5300 using my 90mm Macro Lens.

Thank you for looking!

Much love, @beautifulbullies xx

WOW!! that one is magazine quality girl! beautiful shot, the bee looks super hungry hehehe

Thank you! :D She was very friendly and posed beautifully for me hehe

What an honor to befriend an actual queen. She must read the purity of your intentions towards nature!

It really was an honour! She is such a beautiful creature :)

Bertie is beautiful and a the perfect name for a Queen Bee, this is a really great picture, yeah to getting to see you do more insect shots, keep em coming xxx

Thank you! :D I was very lucky she was extremely friendly and didn't mind me getting close with my camera. I think we bonded over the sugar water lol xxx

Really amazing photo, how did u figure it was a queen, what's the difference?

She had a yellow bottom! lol Apparently the queens have yellow bums whilst the worker bee have white bums! Who knew! :D
