Wow... Not only is that a gorgeous photo... but there is no way I would be brave enough to get that close to something that looks like it'll sting me...

Thanks! It's a bit like 'know your bees'. As far i know all bees can sting. But they only sting when you try to hurt them. As long as they can move arround freely they won't sting. And the honey bees will also sting to protect their hive. Solitary bees won't even bother with that.

I've gotten better 'round them, but I haven't been stung yet and I'm not too keen on tempting them. But, for a photo of that quality, I think I would step out of my comfort zone. Either way, that photo is gorgeous!

Speaking of getting stung, i got stung to day whilst resquing a bumblebee out of a spiders web. I can understand your fear
(said that.. it's the first sting in 12 years )

X/ Oh jeez! Valiant deed repaid with a sting... I would rescue a bumblebee from a spider. They're very important creatures, after all. Especially bumblebees.
