Honeybee having a rest.

I took this (and a number of other photo's) yesterday while my bees were enjoying the sun.
Other bees landed on my arm and head... Thankfully none stung..

Another that seemed to take a breather on some plastic wall netting.

Great picture - what camera? Lens?

Great picture - what camera? Lens?

Just a pocket point and shoot!

Canon IXY Digital 910IS (Japanese model equivalent to IXUS 860IS )

I like it as the macro mode is excellent and it has such a wide angle for such a relatively cheap camera!

Lens: Canon Zoom Lens 3.8x IS / 4.6-17.3mm 1:2.8-5.8

I have a lot more expensive cameras but this one goes beekeeping with me as I don't mind cleaning propolis off of it afterwards!

Yours is an excellent photo!

Did you use macro mode?

I took a couple of shots last year with my S3 in macro and was quite pleased!
