They are amazing wee things - Quite beautiful they really are.
Think you are brave to have it stay on your had, I would have not likes that at all.

Also you show you have patience in this sort of work.

Wonderful shots Brian. Honeys are such placid bees.

Carl, bees are quite sociable at times, especially when they fancy a bit of a warming up

Good set as always Brian.

Hey Brian, when i read this news i remembered all the spiders that love your car, hope you don't drive a Mazda http://news.discovery.com/autos/drive/spiders-prompt-mazda-to-recall-cars-140408.htm

Thanks for the comments.
Carl - as Ian says most of the supposedly nasty stinging insects are quite placid as long as you treat them carefully. I often end up with wasps and bees on my fingers when doing macro and have never been stung by them.

Silvio - No not a mazda but I remember seeing the first report about that- very strange
