Your opinion? Honey bee

[grphotog641]

My wife has just started keeping bees (first batch arrived yesterday). This is my first shot of what I assume will be many.

D500, Sigma 105mm, f/16, 1/100s, ISO-800.

No problem - given my record, it was a safe assumption.

My friend also has some bee colonies and I asked him if I could take some pictures.

It was a good idea!

if he has the artificial hives in his apiary, ask him to show the queen ..i would love to see a picture of that. Also the symmetry of the hive can be a great subject.
