You have a keen eye for capturing the unusual. Two different kinds of bumblebees on the same flower is a great catch. I love the lavender color and star like cluster of petals the comprise the blossom.

Comment from Malmax
Must have been a very popular flower to have attracted all these bees.
A great capture of so many all on one blossom. The clarity is great, and the soft focus of the bees are enough
for me! Beautiful and brave photograph!

How interesting, this study of bees. How brave you are to get them photographed. Such intricate detail and wonderful color with the purple flower and the yellow of the bees. Great job.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
A beautiful picture of this pale mauve Allium flower head & four bumble bees; three Bombus Terrestris ~ Buff Tail Bumble Bee & I think the other is a Bombus Lucorum ~ White Tail Bumble bee drone/male... Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Susan

Comment from nikman
Quite a coded title with this nice photo! Looks a bit unusual having four bees on the same bloom? Your fine composition captures an interesting nature moment. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely taken!

I love how you were able to get such a sharp center showing the small parts of the flower.. The bees make this picture even more stunning. Thank you

It isn't perfect but that is also one of the things that makes it so good. I have learned that flaws in pictures also make them what they are. I love how it shows the center which is also something i love to do. Not to make it perfect but detail is great and ai love it.

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
Ha! Haaa! what an amusing title. Fine play of words for a wonderful shot! This is a lovely shot of the bird! You have timed it well. Fine sharpness.The light and shadows, the colours and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

yikes. if i saw this many bees anywhere near me, i'd probably wet my plants! (pun intended) this is an excellent photograph with incredible detail, vibrant colours, a nice, blurred background, and a great DOF
