1. Isn't that...

A hornet or wasp?

2. It looks just like the wasp that put me in the hospital years ago. A cold chill looking at it so close up 😳

PS..great photos, tho

4. Me too!

Yes, it is a great close up.

6. I fall asleep every night within 5 minutes

I fully wake after 4 hours, and the first thought I had upon waking.............that wasn't a bee, LOL. Trust me, there were bees as well and as soon as this cold front passes and the sun returns I will capture one of the bees!

3. Wow, my dear HAB911! What great closeups these both are! And yes, they are a bit scary.

7. As is often the case

I was photographing something else and grabbed this shot with the lens at hand. I think I will reassemble my frankenphoto setup with the extension rings and capture a real bee as soon as the sun returns!
