135/365 - Honey Bee

I was exhausted after working hard out in the sun in 90-degree heat for three hours this afternoon and felt like taking a picture about as much as I felt like running a marathon. I went out after dinner at dusk and there were honey bees busy at the rhododendrons - the first honey bees I've seen this year.

I chased them around in the semi-dark with my manual focus macro lens - pretty much the most frustrating thing I could undertake. There's nothing like a grainy, out-of-focus picture of the day. This definitely numbers among the worst of the project, but it's all I've got.
