One of my favorite things about having so many gardens, is giving back to nature by offering them a variety of food sources. These bumblebees enjoyed the nectar from my garden flowers. I am going to miss seeing them flitting here and their to feast throughout the season. The last photo was a hornets nest we found in one of our trees after the leaves fell. Such a cool feat to create such a massive home.
Thank you for stopping by my post, I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my favorite bumblebee photos.
Until next time, this is Sunscape...
Sun. Scape. Ing your day
Dang! What camera did you use to take these macro shots? As I garden more, I find more critters and bees in my garden but I only use a cellphone to take shots so far...

Hi Kevin, I have a Pentax ks2 with multiple lenses. I mostly use my 300 mm lens in the yard, I have a macro lens, but without draging out a tripod, I get them too blurry. I started experimenting with my i phone 7 this summer, I think it does pretty well too.

Thanks for the info! I have an old Nikon D70 I've been thinking of upgrading + potentially getting a macro-style lens too.

Oh you will have fun with that for sure. I don't get mine out as much as I could, I should take more nature walks and have some fun shooting different stuff. Good luck with the upgrade, I just did mine a year ago, I have a pentax ks2 and am happy with it so far.

So I am in awe of your macro photography and of course I love that you appreciate the bees! Thanks for sharing these fantastic photos! My favorite is probably the one with the bumblebee covered in pollen!

Wow, I love the one covered in pollen too! He was so busy and seemed so happy to just be a bee! ;-)

Thanks for sharing your stunning Bee photos sunscape !
So many gardens get pavement now a days and people wonder that they see less bees.
It was a very bad trend and I hope it will stop soon.
Where I live (Holland) in my neighbourhood we were asked to let at least 1 square meter of our gardens go wild and watch what happens.
It was a big succes :)
So thanks for looking after the bees so well !

I am so happy you enjoyed the bee photos, I plant enough variety for them to enjoy all season long. It is so sad to see so much building going on w/o regard to the wildlife. I think the younger generation will be the ones to make the needed changes. ;-)
