    they really are cut when seen up close like this and they have enough fuzzy stuff to carry lots of pollen to other plants.

    The honeybee looks like she has been working very hard, the edges of her wings are a little tattered. Cute bumblebee, too, and the last flower is such a pretty red.

    You do such nice macros. I recently tried some macros of bees, but they were all lousy, so I deleted them.
