Wow, I’m seriously impressed by your macro! You can even see the pollen in detail!

thanks :) i would like to make some even better macros, but for that i need a tripod and not even the slightest wind… especially the latter was missing yesterday, and i had to delete around 95% of the shots.

Great pictures, but I can’t find the bees… ;P
These are hoverflies. And yes they look similar to bees and they would be proud if they knew that their mimicry has fooled you! :) Also it is more important that it fools their predators.

interesting. thanks a lot kornel! :) my knowledge of bees and bee-like animals is not very profound… they definitely fooled me.

But at least your English is better than mine… “Also” fooled me, when I wanted to write “Although”… :)
