Flying To The Pollen

With all the nice spring weather we have had the past few days I was able to take my Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro out. The flowers on the trees present a perfect opportunity for some close-up shots of nature’s heavy lifters, the bumble bee. Over 1/3 of the U.S. food supply is pollinated by bees most of which are from hives that are driven around the country chasing the spring blossoms of the crop in different locations around the country. Lately there have been some articles in the news about the mass disappearance of these extremely important agricultural workers. Lets hope they figure out why, and quickly, I don’t know what I would do without my OJ in the morning.
