[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We know that bees have been producing honey as they do today for at least 100 million years (since the Cretaceous period). Bees produce honey as food stores for the hive during the long months of winter when flowers aren't blooming and therefore little or no nectar is available to them. European honey bees, genus Apis Mellifera, produce such an abundance of honey, far more than the hive can eat, that humans can harvest the excess. For this reason, European honey bees can be found in beekeeper's hives around the world!

hi,
This is sooo well done!
The colours are so vibrant... the bee so great!
Superb DOF and the composition around the subject is very well done...
thanks Ana:)

Great shot, Gabriel. The color and clarity are great. I probably would have cropped this a bit tighter, though, to get rid of some of the black in the top left. I'll post a workshop.
Best,
Mike

Hi Gabriel,

TFS and regards, Ruud

Hola Gabriel,
Muy linda foto me gusta la composición, los colores de las flores y los dos colores bien diferentes del fondo.
Artistica y bella.
Saludos

Hello Gabriel,
Great focusing, perfect dof! I can even say pov, sharpness are spot on. Everything in the frame works very well, but on the left of the bg, that black part looks some strange in the composition. I want to know that how it can be? I prefer on the bg only green tones or black. Anyway this is a great work and very well done!
Thank you,
ersin

Hola Gabriel,

Another very colourful picture from you! I like the diagonal in the bg! The color of the bee and of the flowers are so natural! The picture is a little bit soft : I like the workshop of Mike. Composition and pov are excellent: TFS!
