I’ve been working with bee keeper Joe Zgurzynski from www.countrybarnfarm.com and Huong Bui of www.huongraphics.com on a field guide for bee keepers.  The field guide images and specs can be found at www.TheHiveSide.com.  This post is just a quick update on what I’ve been doing and to share some lovely bee images.  I love macro photography, and with that comes an almost necessary technique called focus stacking.  I’ve talked about this in previous posts so I won’t go into it in this one.
This image was focus stacked from 61 photos.

This image was shot on a white background so it could be used
as a clear full body display for the field guide.
