A full pollen basket







I did a little research one day after I noticed that this one bee had huge red bumps on its legs... apparently this is what happens whenever their "pollen basket" gets full... The day after my initial discovery of this, I decided to chase bees around my backyard for three hours with a 300x zoom lens on my new fancy camera, while I practiced taking pictures in manual mode... I'm happy with the results! After the bees realized I wasn't a threat, they even came surprisingly close to me, so the last couple of shots were taken with the bees practically at my feet. Let's just call this a crash course in photography, shall we? Here is more info, if you're interested yourself...
