Description
This newly emerged male European Blue Mason Bee is one of my bee (I raise Red and European Blue Mason bees). He is called blue due to the blue coloration of the female. They are excellent pollinators.

Tech Specs: Canon 90D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to 2x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT, E-TTL metering, -2/3 FEC. This is a single, slightly cropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order. Shutter and ISO set to expose the sky in the background.
