location: Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
Although I have zero knowledge of horticulture, I do find flowers perfect models for close-up photography. This particular bumblebee doesn't have its yellow and black strips vividly distinguished. Might been seen as an unattractive duckling in the bee world. Well, you don't have to be a pageant queen to do the job, do you?
ps. I tried to ask the bee to turn around so that I can have a front view of its cute face. The message didn't get through and I barely escaped from being stung. Lesson learnt. One should accommodate to the Nature rather than the other way round.
