Here is a Bee I got this summer using the Canon 7D II with a Canon 100mm Lens

Some wild bees (aka. solitary bees) at an insect hotel. I didn't get the species.
The sun was in the back left, so the hotel was in the shadow and the bees in a wonderful highlight

It's been about two decades since I saw this the last time live and in the wild:
A swarming bee colony!
I tried to contact a local beekeeper but haven't reached one yet.

Edit: They just moved on to an unknown place...

It's summer, it's sunny, it's (too ) dry . So why not go out and find some subjects.

I am just jealous it has rained 25 out of the last 30 days. I am starting to feel like I moved to Bergen Norway.

For me, it's been like that all March and April (but good for the groundwater!).
I keep my fingers crossed for you for better weather.
