A Study Of Bees 2

On my first attempt to capture bees it was a failure. My second visit I succeeded in capturing some pretty decent images of the bees. On this visit, it was a case of trying again, but not with my Sony A7R MkII and a dedicated Macro Lens (Sony 90mm Macro), instead, the Sony RX10 MkIV. While it does not have a macro mode, I was able to achieve some decent results, with a little post processing crop.
