Great shots! And is there anything cuter then a bumblebee floating around from flower to flower, covered in pollen?
Great detail.

Well done Gautam.

I used to think that images of bumble bees would be an easy thing to get, but after watching them for a while in our flower garden I realize they never stop moving and are very difficult to capture on film or sensor.

Thanks pturton. I usually pre-focus on a flower which is visited by these busybodies and then fire two or three shots as soon as they land.
