Congratulations Mitch!
Found this fuzzy-eyed lethargic lady Monday morning. Moved like she was drunk. Wished I had a drop of honey for her...
Perch (painted wood fence) is pretty horrible, as is the transition to blank black BG dividing the frame horizontally. But my first bee (and my first new photo since early September).
5DIII, MPE-65 macro lens, twin macro flash (diffused), hand held.
1/100 sec at f/11 and ISO 400. 2:1.
