A male mining bee sipping nectar on a Japanese Butterbur flower. April 7, 2020, Brampton Ontario
Nikon D7500, Tamron SP 90mm Macro VC, on-camera pop-up flash, 1/250, f/32, ISO 125, Flash did fire.
There was a lot of bees feeding on these flowers when this picture was taken. This male wasn't moving too quickly so I had a chance to maneuver myself to get a facial shot. I try to decrease the aperture for this view - in this case f/32 - so that more of the head is in focus.
