These images are not intended in any way to be a study of the bee itself. Rather, they are meant as a photographic essay on colour and composition. In the first shot, the majority of the flowers have been sent back to create drama in the foreground and there is, I hope, a sense of harmony between the yellows and greens. The detail in the lace of the bee's wing is a bonus. In the second – a flatter shot – the interest is in the contrast between the flowers and the dark background provided by more distant foliage.
