Description

Now that it's summertime there's no such thing as a lethargic bumblebee -they are hyperactive even before the sun comes up.

Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/60, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (just above 1x) + a diffused MT-24EX. This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held. This is the last frame in this series.

Technique: I injected 2:1 sugar syrup into a lavender flower so the critter would have a reason to let me get close. I shaded the bee so that the flash would be the primary light source on it to help freeze motion.
