Hi rocksea,
Thanks very much for your permission. No need for a higher resolution photo, since the bee’s hairs are already individually visible, and I don’t want to slow down the loading of the page, but thanks for the offer, it’s very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Eric
Hiya, liked the bee photo a lot, and was looking for something to use as a banner on my blog. I’ve used a crop of the photo here:

Please let me know if you’d rather I didn’t. You can comment below the blog.
Many thanks if you’re happy to let me use it!
Cheers,
Eric
Dear Eric, I am more than happy to know that you have used the bee for the banner 🙂 Nature is my/our love, and if that bee spreads some fragrant-honey-laden pollen around the web world, our mission is accompolished 😀
Thank you so much for letting me know as only a few does that! If you need a higher resolution of the same image, I can check upon that.
Cheers,,
Though longhorn beetle is somehow out of focus, but it’s looking awesome on purple flower.
yes yes, that is the reason why this picture was selected from our collection 😉
I tired so hard to click a bee but in the end I had to admit defeat, it would just not settle down. You managed to capture it! Which camera do you use?
Yes bumble bees very often are in a hurry to go from flower to flower, but this one seems to have got drunk that I got several shots 🙂 I use a Nikon D80 these days, with a macro lens.
