Plenty of pollen

Yes, that is a quote from a comment yesterday... This shot is from the same day, and there were so many bees on these flowers (still not sure what they are exactly), that I got a lot of frames with more than one bee in it.

I am equally happy to hear what you don't like about my photo as what you do like!

Please don't be shy about offering criticism and pointers, and thanks for the comments.

Definitely plenty of pollen :D.. hm, sounds familiar. Isn't it fun to watch the bees buzz about collecting the pollen? Sometimes it's very frustrating catching them.. they don't hold still when you ask.. but never the less one of my favored bugs to watch as they dip in and out of the floral hearts seeking a treat. Beautiful depiction of just that.. here.

@Dutçh: They are so much fun to watch, and so much easier to catch than birds, because you can get so close. And since I can't do birds with my camera, it will have to be bees and butterflies for now. Still, I feel a sense of accomplishment capturing something that moves!

These guys are minding their bees-ness. ;-)
I love the abundance of bright flowers and bees !!!

Wonderful! Beautiful colours and focus on the bee. Not easy because they hardly sit still and pose :) I like the DOF as well.
