50mm macro lens = dodgy prospect for live/stinging insects. Worked out ok for these shots of beautiful Common Eastern Bumble Bee (Bombus impatiens) x Butterfly Bush (probably Buddleia davidii), Williamsburg, VA.

Truth be told that bee is actually a foot long! Really scary! They grow ’em big on PI!
Seriously (me?) those are really nice shots. Too bad the photographer got stung!
Thanks for commenting. No bees were harmed in the making of this post.
