I have never looked at a bee this closely. Amazing pictures!

ReplyDeletethese are great photos!
ReplyDeleteWOW! These are truly amazing macro pics! Absolutely awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow..I didn't know about the leg baskets. How cool can bugs bee....GREAT
ReplyDeletewow that is one amazing shot
ReplyDeleteWonderful images Ann. They really show the pollen baskets up close. These 2 do look tuckered out.
ReplyDeleteWow....I've never seen the leg sacs that close and detailed! The only pics I have of them look more yellow and fluffy (maybe it varies with the bee). Your macro lens is super for something like this! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou have wonderful photos on your blog - I took a ramble through before commenting.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful closeup and shows great detail!

ReplyDeleteBefore I posted this I did some research on legs sacs and its does seem to be a variety in their appearances. Some are dusty yellow looking, some saffron orange and some, like the ones I photographed are shiny and brown. I saw these on several bees so knew they had to be a feature of some kind!
These are really fabulous close ups and so informative too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that information on the leg sacs....I didn't realize they varied that much! I really know very little about bees.
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots. The post above too. Just amazing. Well done.
ReplyDeleteIn response to this and the one above it. Wow! I didn't know they had those pollen pockets. These are AWW-SUM!
