Hi,

So my first post here, after a while of loitering with intent.

One of my main areas of photography is Macro, for which I use a Nikon D200 and a Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro lens. Occasionally I add a Sigma 1.4x teleconverter to this so I can stay a bit further from the bugs.

On this occasion though these aren't particularly great photos, but I was wondering what the type of bee here is. Yesterday we noticed a small squadron of them flying in and out of a crack in one of the walls in the garden. They seem very docile, and nothing to worry about, but it would be nice to confirm this.

They are awkward little buggers to photograph, hence the less that ideal quality.

Many thanks for any advice. :)

Thanks Chris, yes that looks like it, although I'm slightly concerned that they can be aggressive near the nest. We have to walk very close to it to go from one part of the garden to the other. I'll keep an eye on them.
