He definitely is huge. I love the way the sunlight is showing through his wings and illuminating his back. The flowers are lovely.

Like the colours of the azaleas. Now that's a bees butt. Don't get bees that big over here.

Sweet wings! And he isn't as scary as bees from the front.

CUTE AS .. !!.. love shots of bees from beeeeeeeehind ... from the front and side too .. but there's something about a little bee, so busy collecting the pollen seen from behind . . they look so dang cute .. !! .. great shot love the colours .. you're lucky if your bees are very large, it makes them a lot easier to photograph .. ours are little piddly things .. very small .. AND QUICK .. !!..:)

This is too cute - that bumble bee looks very engrossed in his/her business.

HEE HEE - bugs are so oblivious when they have their task at hand. Azaleas have the prettiest centers - with the stamens pouring out - so delicate!!

Cool shot. Love bug shots and this one is very nice with its tones and luminance from the petals. Can't wait for warmer air so the insects get moving and hopping and flying and crawling and stinging and biting and scratching...ahhh summer. :D

I like the shade, almost as if the bee is really trying to hide.
