I spent a lovely week in Wales earlier this month, and got a tiny bit of obsessed with trying to get a good bee photo.
There were lots of bees around on the wonderful flowers near where we were staying, so I spent quite a lot of time with my camera set to macro, and also wishing I could tell the different species apart!
Bees drinking nectar and collecting pollen is such a natural (and important!) thing. When I watch them do it, I feel like I'm having a moment of really connecting to nature.
In the interests of full disclosure, the above photo is definitely not one of my efforts - it's by Sue Kennedy. It's a bumble bee on chive flowers. If you'd like to order a print or a canvas of this, or any other of the wonderful images we have, visit RSPB Images.
