Today I have one of the beautiful but a little bit hard for me to photograph. This guy is one of the important species for agriculture, because of its use for pollination, although their population is now declining according to some articles that I read.
This is the beautiful, hardworking bee that always hops from one flower to another collecting nectar while pollinating the flowers, which then will help farmers to grow crops.
Although the flower that I took this photo is not a farmer's crop flower, we still know how much it meant for the farmer, and also the environment.
These bees were at work collecting nectar that morning when I tried to photograph them. It was fun, but also challenging because they don't spend much time on one flower; they are in and out in a second, so the time window for me to photograph this guy is rather limited, yet I love the result.
As you can see here, how fast the bee was moving, and these are the kind of shots that I got sometimes, a missed focus.
