Another outing with the macro lens watching the bees.

Shooting with the macro lens means I have to get very close to the subject. Luckily the bees don't seem to mind and I'm not in the way of their nectar and pollen gathering.

Previously I've used a long lens from about 7 feet away to get bee photos, but I'm quite enjoying this new 'up-close' approach.

Being closer with the macro lens shows a lot more detail but does require more patience.
