Bees So Close You Can See Their Hairs

How about a whole Flickr photo page dedicated to awesome up close shots of bees and other insects?

“From Anne Arundel County, in Maryland, this is one of but a few Andrena that come out in the Fall. Brooke Alexander was the photographer.” -Sam Droege

      Check out the Flickr page of the USGS Bee Monitoring and Inventory Lab moderated by Sam Droege. For some up close looks of many types of bees including bumblebees, honeybees, and those that can be found in our National Parks or Puerto Rico this is the place. There is even a whole album of bee heads, an insect identifiers paradise.

This is one of those things that you happen upon and say “I can’t believe this exists.” and then, “I’m so glad this exists.”

The Macintosh SE circa 1987 and the 21.5 inch iMac circa 2012. I stumbled upon this sort of tech museum in an office building that honors the computer I learned to type on, and the computer I use today.
