Utkarsh Patil took the photo, if you like this one he has a lot more on his flickr
It's a nice picture. Thanks for the tip! What I really like is seeing them IRL. And for that I do what I can to build and preserve bee habitat.
Wow that's really cool! You're lucky to be able to see them in real life.
I imagine it would be like seeing little flying jewels buzzing around, and you can appreciate the flowers as well as the bees
Your imaginings match up with my experience. The pic above is with a sunflower, and I have those. They look really cool on blue flax blossoms. LoL, but I don't have the camera for that kind of macropix. Utkarsh Patil has talent, and equipment. Brilliant.
That's a beautiful set up, you're very lucky! At least utkarsh is generous in sharing his photos so we can enjoy all the macro details
Indeed!
