Three bees. I watched the nomad bee for quite a while searching for miner bee nests in the neighbour's front garden flying low over the grass. It disappeared into some fairly long grass for about a minute and then came back out and sat on a leaf looking a bit knackered. Perhaps it had actually been egg laying.

Nomada bee






A well loaded female miner bee- probably Andrena haemorrhoa




Small male miner bee

Lovely shots Brian, particularly the nomada.

Mind blowing quality Brian! Are these hand-held? Thanks.

Thanks Ian and SB for the comments
SB - yes they are all handheld (and also focus stacked)
