Description
Partly cloudy weather and cool temperatures seems to slow this honeybee down enough for me to get a few photos. It was also windy enough for me to grab onto the dandelion's stem, without spooking the critter, so I could keep the scene steady.

Tech Specs: Canon 90D (F11, 1/125, ISO 200) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (set to a little over 1x) + a diffused MT-26EX-RT, E-TTL metering, -2/3 FEC. This is a single, slightly cropped, frame taken hand held. In post I used Topaz Denoise AI and Clarity in that order. Shutter and ISO set to expose the sky in the background.
