First set of pictures, taken in the "underbelly" of a hive that Roland Berger (www.apis-z.at) opened for me at his melarium. It takes some getting used to the bees flying out all around you, sitting on your head, buzzing by your ear, etc. Wasn't the best of conditions for pictures but I had good access to one of the chambers in the comb which houses a queen bee in the making (4th and 5th picture). Haven't shot macro in a while so I will need to practice again and will definitely set it up better next time, maybe with someone helping me to hold a reflector rather than using flash.
