This guy scared the hell out of me. He would hover in different areas all around me. He was bigger than a quarter. Not a huge fan of bees....
Did you know? Not all bumblebees are yellow and black. Some are orange or red instead of yellow, and some have completely black bodies. Bumblebees can sting, but unlike regular bees, their stinger doesn't have barbs, so they can sting more than once. The buzzing sound when they fly is the vibrating of their flight muscles, not the beating of their wings. They are concidered to be an Endangered Species.

Hey! More to read! I love getting faves, but I enjoy knowing why my work is being faved more! Please leave a comment! Please don't be shy, I request critique to learn how to get better. My feelings will not be hurt, everyone still needs to learn! I do not manipulate my photographs in any way, except basic cropping and color correction.

Awesome picture!! We have honeybees and when I'm by their box they're often flying around like that but...I'm usually getting the heck out of there at that point. It's great you were able to take a picture of one.
