Nice compositions & colors ... would slide the Highlight slider to the left so as to tone down the white highlights a bit.

Thanks for the comments all.

John: you're right. I did let the highlights get away a bit. My fault for not post-processing with the curtains closed as I usually do (bright room). A couple of clicks down in lightroom improved them nicely. Thanks.

Nice set of images :) Honeybees are one of those insects that you never get tired of photographing, at least I don't and I have about a dozen or so hives across the road from my home, so one would think that I would have my fill of bees. Mainly I like to photograph them looking for mites that may harm them.
