You are one of the greatest photographers that I know. This was probably a very difficult shot to get, and it looks wonderful.

Don't you love how nature works together?

Thanks Jessi! the front of the lens is about 12" away from the bee. you could probably touch these bees while they are hogging up the pollen and they wouldn't notice.

I'm diggin this photo. Very spring-y. Love the detail and the enjoyment that bee seems to be getting out of that pollen.
Great shot overall.
