I am not definitely sure of the ID of this bee.
Sonoran Bumblebee Bombus sonorus
Family: Apidae, Apid Bees view all from this family
Description 1-2" (15-3- cm), queens larger than workers. A large bumblebee with contrasting bright yellow and black bands. Some individuals almost all yellow. Wings smoky.
Warning This bee stings but is not aggressive.
Life Cycle Queen overwinters until early spring, then enters opening in soil to build honeypots and brood cells. Small workers develop first. With warmer weather new honeypots and brood cells are constructed producing larger adults. Only young mated females (new queens) overwinter; the rest of the colony, including the old queen, dies.

Hi Yildiz,
a nice close-up shot. the colours and details are good.
the subject standout well from the BG. Maybe F5.6 had helped to get the entire flower in focus but still a nice picture.
Well done.

Hello Yildiz,
Wonderful colours in this shot and the bumble bee is very nicely in focus. The Lantana certainly attracts many insects! It's a pity it's out of focus.

Primorosa composición Yildiz... mucho más que la imagen del abejorro... definitivamente.
Me encanta la saturación de colores y los contrastes sobre el fondo totalmente difuso, con buen foco, aunque DOF algo escaso, que no permite una agudeza absoluta del conjunto.
De todas maneras, una gran presentación.
Un cordial saludo desde Buenos Aires... Ricardo

Dainty composition Yildiz... much more than the image of the bumblebee... definitively.
I love the saturation of colors and the contrasts on the completely diffuse bottom, with good focus, although DOF something scarce that doesn't allow an absolute sharpness of the group.
Anyway, a great presentation.
A cordial greeting from Buenos Aires... Ricardo

Hi Yildiz.
You have create a very nice close-up with brilliant colours, details and composition. Lighting, sharpness of the bee and flowers, extreme blurriness of BG are perfect. My compliments and TFS.

Hello Yildiz,

Wonderful picture of this bumblebee! You did a remarkable composition and got a great pov by having the insect in that position :-) Colors looks maybe a little bit saturated but maybe it is my screen which is in default. Very nice bg enhancing the insect and the flower... Great pic and TFS,

Michel
