Bumblebee in the Raspberry Patch
Checking out our rapberry plants yesterday, I noticed a mob of pollen addicted bumblebees swarming among the raspberry flowers. With so many of those critters busily circling the flowering berry plants. I had to face a major challenge to capture them with my camera. Alas, out of the 20 shots I took, only one turned out reasonably sharp. Bumblebees take less than a second to grab a tiny portion of pollen, then they are off in search of another flower.

Good thing there are no raspberries yet. That’s the time I would not want to find a bee there, just as I’d be reaching in for a berry.
Nice photo.

The point is that for a Bumblebee our second is at least 10 to 15 seconds long. 😉

Bumblebees are so inconsiderate to photographers. Those insects should practice better etiquette.

Bumbles might be my favorite bees. There are some striking metallic bees, but the bumblebees are just so improbable!

Yes, bumblebees are fast, hard to capture with the camera.
