Subject: [Leica] IMG: A Different Kind of Bee

I went out this morning to try the 135 Takumar with a short extension tube 
(<10mm) to see how it worked for insects.  It allowed me to work 
approximately 3 feet from the subject, which is fairly useful.

This bee is different from the ones I usually find, with more golden color 
on the abdomen.  I could not find a reference for it.
