Default Busy Bee in NZ

I took this photo today and I chased it all over the grass. I have know idea how he can see where he is going.
I am testing my camera to see what sort of photos I will get. I haven’t changed anything only cropped it in PhotoShop. I took the easy way and used Auto and Macro setting.
I thought this looked English being on a dandelion. Some people over here are making organic dandelion coffee I haven’t tried that yet.

I am happy for any comments

Nice shot Sitereh, the macro is good on those cameras, Louise uses the 7000 and gets good results.

He really is well loaded with pollen.

Thank you. I really appreciate the lengths you lot go to getting that one shot. I was taking pictures of Bumble Bee bottoms yesterday. Not too sure how soon I will get another picture to share.
