Wow. Now you have me curious - does the hummer just hover and wait for the bee to leave or does it chase the bee off?

Outstanding capture.

Outstanding capture.

Sometimes they wait, sometimes they leave and sometimes they drink right beside them

Super cool Eric! And thank you for the added details that is really helpful in getting even a small understanding of how you achieve these sweet shots.

Very nice capture. Looks like they are taking turns.

A competition that I would not get in between. Incredible timing on your behalf.

Another wonderful image, Eric. I just love the combination of complementary colors.

Fantastic image. I remember discussions about stopping the wingbeats with a film camera and it was deemed impossible at the time.
