it looks so innocent in the bug world doesn't it, as opposed to the human word, really like your treatment, not too sharp, but still great details,

Great capture, you are very lucky to spot this amazing interaction between the drones and the queen. I have never seen this happening in real life.

Great find. I guess you were quite close as well, judging from the DOF.

Looks like the boys find her attractive. Ha! I love insect shots, you never get to see much detail when they are flitting around here and there. This is quite the capture! Very nice entry. I don't know if I've ever seen the queen bee before. Oh maybe at the state fair many years ago. This looks like a new meaning for busy as a bee. ;o)

What a rare sight! She looks weighed down; I assume these are suitors looking to pass on their genes? Astonishing shot.
