A squadron of bees streak through a garden,
dismantling the uneasy peace
between flowers and the sun.

    The depth in this photo is amazing, with the front bee being so sharp and beautifully lit. Promoted!

    Any special lighting equipment/techniques you use for such scenes? Or is this "available" light?     Posted 12 years ago

    Thanks, Ferdy. All natural light, no flash. I'm always looking for ways to bounce light around, using reflectors, etc. Posted 12 years ago

The Western honey bee

The western honey bee or European honey bee is the most common of the 7–12 species of honey bee worldwide. The genus name "Apis" is Latin for "bee", and "mellifera" is the Latin for "honey-bearing", referring to the species' production of honey.
