Macro Photohraphy - Carpenter bee

good morning friends all
as usual today I am again trying to share some photos of my catch yesterday when I went hunting to one of the gardens that I have never visited before, this is about 30 minutes drive from my house

The main purpose of going there was to accompany my friend who was waiting for the durian fruit to fall, and it happened that at night a lot of wood piles were going to be burned, in one of the logs I saw a hole and when I looked inside, there was a worker bee in the hole. wood

I tried to disturb it and then it came out with unusual movements, this bee was very weak, because its position on the tree trunk was not attractive as a photo background. I took the bee with a stick and placed it on one of the wild flowers near the place

This bee looks so scary, when I took a photo up close I was very worried even though my friend said this bee doesn't bite, but from the other side it cannot be denied that this bee is very beautiful to look at when using a macro lens, all its feathers look so obviously, truly an extraordinary creation

This bee is usually called Carpenter bee , all parts of its feathers are black, and one point, namely on its shoulders, is yellow, I tried taking several other shots from the camera from below and aiming in a direction where there is a lot of reflected light so that several bokeh points can be seen,

I really enjoyed yesterday's trip, one side can enjoy delicious durian and the other side I can see a bee closer that looks so scary.

Well, I think the bee is scared and is hugging that twig because it is afraid of something. Poor thing, she is so beautiful. I really like bees and thanks to these impressive captures, I can enjoy it better.

This bee is in an unusual state, I put it on the flower so it looks like it's scared, glad you like the photo I shared
