Yeah Moon...you're braver than I am...I don't like bees and wasps either
I really like shots 1 & 6 though, with no.1 being my favourite
I really like the level of detail in this shot...especially in the wings

Thanks guys.
Bees don't bother me, I find if you leave them alone, they are cool, wasps I try to avoid though as I am allergic to them
One of these Bees was like Rambo Bee, huge

I love taking bee shots At least with bees you KNOW they wont sting you unless they have to ..cos they die when they sting you ..it's wasps you have to watch out for

I'm the same, I love bees but am not so keen on wasps
Some nice shots there MS! I have to shoot bees hand held because as you said, as soon as you get the tripod set up they are gone
