Cool shots! I may have to try if it ever stops raining... Got lots of bees around my backyard, +25,000, because of we have a beehive setup. The bad part is I'm allergic to bee stings, so risk my life for a couple of photographs...sure why not? :P

A "true" artist would die for his work.

Great in flight shots. I never had the patience or the steady hand to shoot anything in flight.

Very nice both sets. ;)

I would be terrified to have 25,000 bees in my backyard. I think I would have a mysterious napalm explosion to take care of it..... ;D

It was very comfy, I just sat next to the tree, the sun was warm, I had my arms propped up on my knees and a certain area that I focused on so once a bee flew in I was able to just get a quick focus and snap the shot.  the bees are about a foot away in these shots.

[EDIT]
It turns out they seem to just be protecting the few flowers that are blooming on my lemon tree.

Please do, the Funnel Web is one hell of a spider and I would love to see it in person (vicariously of course lol)
