    They are so cute - and difficult to catch! Always on the move! This one is in a hurry! :)

    Fantastic shot. I've tried the bumblebee on several occasions, but they are illusive. Or maybe I'm just afraid of being stung.

    Nice capture! I have trouble catching one still enough to get a good picture.

    What an amazing photo! It is so clear and sharp that it seems as if we could reach out and touch that hairy bee.

    My dad used to call bumblebees "drummeldrones".

    Magnificent! I have gotten closeups of a bee but never a macro. Today, I was trying again and it was too elusive!

    Hi, as always a great macro photo. Bumblebees are much nicer than wasps. There are wasps near my frontdoor. I rang the exterminator to destroy them. Thanks for showing your photos! Have a nice day.

    That's a big bee. :-) If it wasn't for macros like this I wouldn't think they were this fuzzy.

    This is an amazing macro, those little animal is so difficult to shot, they never stay in one place long enough!
