    Hi there - great shot of the bumble-bee. I don’t get much chance to takes images of BB's in Australia - they are only found in Tasmania - and there they are considered a pest! Strange how different the same thing can be in different parts of the world.

    both of these photos certainly have the WOW factor, the bee is amazing hanging upside down, and on an onion was a surprise to me.
