Busy Bee of Suncheon


Last 2006, i visited the Naganeupsong Folk Village in Suncheon. I was lucky to find this korean busy bee doing his job. Bees are remarkable beings. They have sharp memories, which are based on their senses of direction and smell. They can find their ways via their sensitivity to the earth's electromagnetic field. They are known for the buzz sounds they create owing to their wings that can beat at 11.400 times per minute.

This shot is quite difficult because of the close distance between my lens and the subject. Its one of my few tries on a macro hand held shot using my old Nikon E4800 point and shoot.
