a study of bumble bees

Just practicing some new subjects with my new equipment. The bumble bees are extremely fast, and are almost impossible to catch in-flight. When the wind is blowing hard it moves the flowers all over the place, making it even trickier to get a good shot. Patience is a virtue, especially in the world of macro photography.
