Bees in the Haskaps.

[Trent Watts]

Haskap berries are the first to be ready for eating in our area. The flowers have started and the bees are having a great time gathering nectar.

Two shots of a Milwaukee Mining Bee.

Amazing macro shots of these guys. I never cease to be amazed that bumble bees can achieve fight. They are the closest thing in nature to Dumbo

Excellent shots Trent, I like the sense of motion in the last image

Soooo many Bee's Trent!

A Milwaukee Mining Bee? What a crazy name! That is seriously such a crazy and specific name.

Great shots in all of these, you nailed them. Did you use an external flash on these? They are lit up so nicely.

Hi Jim.. Thanks for the comments. I use a flash diffuser attached to the flash and it comes out over the front of the lens. It works well.

Great detail on something that was probably moving quickly.

Thanks Monika... A flash is the only way I can hope to slow down any movement when shooting bees.
