I have been trying for ages to get a half decent image of a bee enjoying the borage flowers. You may or may not know but borage is similar to hellebores, where they hang their heads downwards. In the end, I decided to ‘shoot blind’, I held the camera underneath the flower when a bee appeared and just pressed the shutter. Here are a couple of ‘bees bums’ for you to enjoy, and V.3 is a fraction better than a bum!

I have thousands of bees bums images as these critters never stay still in the face of the camera. These are wonderful, not least because of the beauty of the borage flowers. Have you tried them in your Pimms yet?
A great set . V2 is my favourite Those wings are fab.
very pretty flower not one I have seen before, V3 is very good as far as the bee goes and V2 shows the transparency of the wings perfectly V1 is the best image of the flower IMO
Would be a bummer to choose between them 
. But I do like the clarity and detail in v2 particularly. Lovely set, Carol.

Well done Carol you got your Bee inthe end 
I love the borage flower there is so much detail and it photographs so well
Susan
V1 is superb, just flower and bee, no distractions.
Moira
A super trio. V3 is top!
You are right, Borage is similar to Australian Cattle Brush.

David
Well, I think it's inconsiderate of the bees to flash their bums at you when you're photographing them! Definitely not a bum set of images though, Carol
Trev 
no 1 is fantastic, you must have been lying in a yoga position in the grass to get this!
