OH WOW! Renee, sunset bees and water drops, what a great catch, they ALL seem to be collecting water drops for you at the moment, or did you just chuck a bucket full over him. LOL. Thats a great idea, chase all the bees with the hose pipe LOL. Seriously though, this is a fabulous shot, good on you hon. Hugs Lynnie

Hi Renee, great captured macro. Very good shot..

So Renee: when I take macro shots I'm an inch away or even closer to the subject. Are you really that close to this bee? If so, my hat is off to you for being so brave! For one thing I can't imagine that it would stay around along enough for you to get focused in on it, and secondly, don't they sting? LOL Not that I'm afraid of bees, I just let them fly around me and wait for them to fly away, but. . . You're right, there is a water droplet on its' antenna. Nice shot.

A very fitting description and a pretty closeup....it would be so fun to trek with you. I see that water drop and it's detail that you just rarely find....when I read Lois's comment, I wonder if she exploded? :o)
