Friends

As we were busy in shooting Crimson Rose and we found that this bee is just hovering on top of us. Sisir was first to point out stating that probably it must be having his home somewhere. Then Amar was quick to notice that the bee is actually hiding inside the nest. It seem to have laid some egg and you can see the egg inside.

We four were actually chasing the bee and managed to get some shot.

Hope you all like. Thanks
Ganesh

Hi Ganesh Ji,

Hello Ganesh,
A superb collage showing three aspects of a Xylocopid bee at its nesting hole. Each image is sharp and taken from interesting POV's and the in-flight capture is well timed.
Very nice to view and TFS!

Hi Ganesh,
Great series of shots well put together, each one gives us a window into a different aspect of this Bees behaviour. Great shrapness and DOF in each one too, well done!

Hi Ganesh,

I can just picture the four of you chasing the little bee. Lucky no one was stung! This collage of the three shots is a wonderful presentation. All are excellent with sharp details. My favorite is the one in his nesting hole. I'd love to see the full sized version of that one.
