Wow. Perfect light, fast shutter, focus is good. Is this a huge bee or did you have a macro lens and the thing was inches from your face? Great shot!

Hi Jeff, Thank you so much for your kind words. Unfortunately I do not know what type of bee this is. It is definitely bigger than the normal bee. It was hovering in one place, so I grabbed my macro 105mm Nikkor lens and took a photo with every inch closer. This was the closest I could get before it took off.
