Pretty amazing I went 39 years without ever noticing this bee.   

That's because Pope and Young doesn't score them

Probably some truth to that at least in the early years.  But....since we are out of big bucks and bulls in this state, I've turned to bugs. LOL

Cool pic!  You can tell that it is not an Africanized Honey Bee due to the fact that it is lacking an afro and gold teeth.   

Now thats funny right there

Can you get pics like these with a nikon d40x? I have the extra zoom lense that came with it, do you need speical lense filters, maybe a whole new camera? Please any help would be good. thanks

You can get pics of these with any camera and lens., at least anything that will let you get close and take a picture.  Find out how close you can get to something and still be in focus.  Find one of these and snap that pic.  You can then crop down if you need to if its not full frame.

I'm going out to find some wild flowers in the moutains after i go to the range to shoot some foam animals. I'll take your advice and give it a shot. Had the camera for 2 years but never tried to take super nice close up shots. thanks again
