When it comes to capturing bees, extreme macro photography is not for sissies. Why? Well its quite simple really, those insects have very painful stings and in order to get this kind of magnification, one has to get the lens as close as 6cm from your subject. This can sometimes aggravate them....
Solution, photograph them very early in the morning when its still cool, there are less bees and they are more sluggish.... These pics where taken with a 50mm prime lens on top of another 50mm prime lens (Nikon) in order to provide the magnification without sacrificing sharpness. Enjoy....
