This little bee was on my backyard putting something on a hole on a piece of wood that I have there.
She (or he?) was coming and returning from somewhere else. Once she has been inside the hole, she has been making a circular movement all the time. The got back to fly back to somewhere else, and repeated this sequence some times.
I took my camera which was already mounted with all the macro stuff, and made some photos while she was in the hole.
The difficulty in this case in the extreme shallow DOF due to high magnification and distance from lens in addition to the movement she was making and her natual fear of all my paraphernalia.
I have many other good ones, but this one seems the more interesting to me because of the front angle plus her tongue(?) showing up.
