[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It behaves like a bee but I doesn't seem to collect nectars but pollen only. I assume it is a wasp. I have a lot of shots of this insect and I hope someone can give me the right ID so I can post the other good shots.

Hi Rey,
Hard to tell for sure. It looks like a bee in the genus Halictus..just a guess. They are much smaller than honey bees and make their colonies in the ground..Nice shot.

Sorry, I can't identify the bee. As for the shot, it's stellar. The timing is excellent, showing the bee "climbing out of" the flower tells a bit of a story. And the composition and DoF are are great for telling that story, too. The natural lighting is just right, as is the exposure and focus.

Hi Rey,

Very nice shot.
Excellent composition, details, sharp and colors.
Well done!!!

TFS :-)
