Well, like some of you already noticed, the bee is dead. It's lying on top of a sheet of glass while my finger is below the glass. No bee training and no risk of being stung :)
It wasn't my goal to make a perfectly sharp macrophoto of a bee, but a balanced photo that shows the tension between the bee and the fingertip. I made a shot on which the bee is perfectly in focus but I didn't like it because it took all of the viewers attention to the bee only.
After reading the comments about it, I did a try-out with a blue background but it didn't look too well because the blue didn̢۪t match witch the color of the finger. I think blue would look better though if it would be a bright colored flower instead of a finger.
Don't worry Swashbuckler, the bee killed itself :). It was trying to escape trough a closed window and bees seem to keep trying to escape until they die (BTW before I get any complaints, there was no way I could save the it. The window can't be opened and the bee was acting pretty aggressive so I didn't dare to catch it).
I just came to my mind that it actaully might be possible to do a shot like this with a living bee by putting honey on my finger. I don̢۪t think I̢۪m gonna try it though :)
