Bees are all over my yard this time of the year. I see them in my Rose of Sharon blooms. Hummingbird Feeder. All flowers that have any kind of pollen or nectar. You have to be careful while photographing these bees as they will chase you. So far I have been lucky and have not been stung but I am very careful. I try to zoom in, take the picture and get out the way. They hear the camera click and sometimes come your way! Nature is full of surprises especially this time of the year.

Wonderful photos! I’m scared of bees too
Thanks Ellie!
Great job!
Thanks Olga!
I thought that was a strange looking flower in the last shot. lol. I think they are intimidated by the lense. Perhaps it looks like a big bee eye.. They zoom me as well. I did have to run a few weeks back, we came across a “Hot hive”. Killer bees, and they are super aggressive.
Yes it was a surprise to see! I think it is the sound more than anything because I am behind them and they hear this click so close. Gotta watch out for those hives.
Yes, I am very careful around bees and wasps too! Wonderful photos, Carol!
Thank you Icy. 🙂
Great pictures. I love bee pictures and they always come with flowers as a bonus. (or a hummingbird feeder)
Thanks Howard. I was shocked to see one on the hummingbird feeder but it makes sense. They go where the sweetness is! 🙂
I used to be so scared of bees, I kinda still am. In second grade I went home cause there was a bee in my class. I just don’t want to go near them, I was stung by 8 all at once.
We should respect them more than be afraid I believe. Still keep your guard up while around them. Yikes that is a lot of stings.
