# Bees are good.
Especially when one has a camera with nifty macro zoom functions.

Like I do.

# Ta muchly
I won't tell you how many duds it took before I got one that worked. The bloody bumblebee wouldn't sit still.
Hardly surprising though - apparently a small hive of bumblebees is more efficient at pollination than a huge hive of honey bees is. So it's not suprising this one didn't have time to pose for a photoshoot.

Your own bee was very fine, too, btw. (Although not as hardworking as mine)

# Tis
a Fuji FinePix S602 Zoom

Now superceded by bigger and better ones, of course. Not sure exactly how much, but it's not a top-of-the-line, professionals-only kind of price.

# I'm still very annoyed
that I worked out how to use the "taking pictures of very small thigs" zoom on my camera the day after seeing a huge purple furry caterpillar wending its way across the carpet at work
