Honey bee approaching Camelia flower

Mike....., there is a lot of colour in this photograph. I also very much like the angle in which this is taken providing a nice blue background of the sky.

I anticipate you had a lot of patience for that sweet little bee! Exposure with the flash is also very good. Some very critical photographers may critique the shades left from the flash on the flowers (my assumption). But the message is simple in your photo, the bee is collecting pollen from nature's flora. Great photo.

Nice,  I was wondering what was shutter speed on this particular shot, the wings on the bee are almost motionless. 

Great photo, htx
