Cropped a few pics for more detail. Fuzzy little buggers aren't they?
Cleaning up before she goes in with a load of pollen.

One last wipe of the antennae before she goes out.

This one isn't the prettiest, but it's just part of keeping bees. The ones that didn't make it through the winter, laying on the ground in front of the hive.

Thanks.
Lost the links to the first 2 pics, but they're back up now. Used a recently purchased Pentax K20D with a Takumar Super Macro 100mm lens. Just had to try it out!

I'm hoping to get a K20D - soon - as an insurance settlement for a camera which I lent my daughter a few days prior to her house fire. I had an older Olympus E10, which was a metal body, and now everything is plastic, so I might as well step up to a DSLR with interchangeable lenses.
How you like the K20D so far? Do you have any older lenses which you are able to use with it?

Mapman,
Absolutely love the K20D!! All my old lenses work with it, even my screw mount Takumar Super Macro 100mm that I used to take these pics. Just used an adapter. You won't regret purchasing one.
Sorry to hear about the fire.
