This white tailed bumble bee seemed to tumble across the fresh sedum in a somewhat acrobatic fashion !

Canon 7D, Tamron 55-200mm lens @ 181 mm, 1/50 sec @ f9, ISO 400, hh.

Lovely image with the attractive fresh sedum flowers and nice bg, Ian. The bee is not perfectly sharp, but the slight motion blur effectively shows the busy bee doing its thing.

Nice image of the bee in this interesting acrobatic pose! And the flowers are beautiful.

much nicer than your "everyday" bee close-up :wavey: The soft colors, the angle and the inferred action make this a cut above.
