Cutest colletes bee (programming.dev)
 

I'm not entirely sure of the subspecies. They are tiny, adorable, and really favor tansy.

Possibly "Colletes daviesanus". Tiny and cute.

Females do not, actually, have the orange tips on their wings, but the patterns on the underside are gorgeous.

Yellow-legged Mining Bee (Andrena flavipes). They're cute as heck so I'm gonna be stalking their foraging area.

Thank you! A proper camera (R7) with a 85mm lens :) I know some people manage great macro with their phones, but I couldn't have gotten close enough with a phone, the bees hurried back into their tunnels whenever I got near.

Grey backed mining bee (Andrena vaga) waiting for me to get away from her nest.

Herons look so incredibly cool. Until you see them from the front, of course. Gorgeous shot!

I saw mining bees today! (www.youtube.com)
 

I know they're not rare or anything, but it's the first time I get to observe some.

Sorry for the shaky video, I keep forgetting to take a beanbag.

You drive through the fields and spot a dishevelled young woman hunching over roadkill, reaching into the corpse with pliers as flies buzz around her. You accidentally make eye contact just as she - grinning - drops a writhing maggot into a translucent plastic bottle.

I love it too! I wish I had noticed it when the picture was taken, because it's gorgeous.

Bees are macro on hard mode, they never stop moving. You did a fantastic job. I always end up using burst mode and prayer. Have fun experimenting!

The bees are the best. They get SO dusty. Also: can I see, please?
