Bees are flying insects, closely related to wasps and ants. Bees are a monophyletic lineage within the superfamily Apoidea, presently classified by the unranked taxon name Anthophila. There are slightly fewer than 20,000 known species of bee, though many are undescribed and the actual number is probably higher.

Many species of bees are poorly known. The smallest bee is the dwarf bee (Trigona minima) and it is about 2.1 mm (5/64") long. The largest bee in the world is Megachile pluto, which can be as large as 39 mm (1.5"). The most common type of bee in the Northern Hemisphere are the many species of Halictidae, or sweat bees, though this may come as a surprise to people, as they are small and often mistaken for wasps or flies.

The most well-known bee species is the Western honey bee, which, as its name suggests, produces honey, as do a few other types of bee. Human management of this species is known as beekeeping or apiculture

Bees are adapted for feeding on nectar and pollen, the former primarily as an energy source, and the latter primarily for protein and other nutrients. Most pollen is used as food for larvae.

Bees have a long proboscis (a complex "tongue") that enables them to obtain the nectar from flowers. Bees have antennae almost universally made up of thirteen segments in males and twelve in females, as is typical for the superfamily. They all have two pairs of wings, the hind pair being the smaller of the two; in a very few species, one sex or caste has relatively short wings that make flight difficult or impossible, but none are wingless.

Hello Narayanan,
a great presentation of this plant-insect interaction which is not easy to present with the high magnification shown. Some parts of the probably moving insects are sharp. Colours, light and background are pretty good. Perhaps a slightly lower magnification would have been more advantageous to achieve more depth of field and to show the entire insect.
Best wishes, Peter

This does not look like an ordinary honey bee to me, Ganesan.
Focus on the facial region of the insect is quite sharp. I agree with Peter -- the entire insect ought to have been within the frame.
TFS.

Hi,
This picture is very good. I liked the sharpness here at some parts.
The nits are :-
> Unless you want to show the details on any single part , i feel the entire insect has to be with Frame.
> Presentation, Copyright text is tooo bold , it distracts.

Hi Ganesh
The details here 're really good,but i would agree with Goutham on the missing end from the frame and the bold copyright.

TFS & Cheers

Wow! Very interesting action shot, Ganesan. TFS.

Veo que no descansas con tu cámara jajaja. Gracias de nuevo por tus comentarios. Bonita fotografía aunque por el tamaño del insecto supogo que ese enfoque ha sido difícil. Me gusta, aunque yo no soy muy experto en insectos.

Hi Gannu!

Very nice photo and makro!Good colors and pose!
Nice shot Gannu bravoooo!!!!!!!!

Pozdrawiam from Poland- Adi!

Hi Ganesh,

Thanks for viewing my newest picture, yes after sometimes with a bucket of things to do, I just try to come back to post in TN, like always, you bring a great macro shot with a great detail enable us to see something bellow the limit of our visibility. Really good pose of this bee with really detail on its head part and legs, the wings area is a bit OOF but we could still see the detail of its mosaic pattern.
Thanks for sharing the informative notes
Cheers,

Erlangga
