Updated bumble bee

Thought I'd take an updated shot of my male bumble bee since I had the camera out. He's lost some luster but is still sweet looking imho. :) I'm really hoping I can get him and some of my pastels to breed and perhaps hatch out a killer bee or two next year. :cool:

Before: Taken November 4th of 2007

After: Taken July 17th 2008...oh and he weighs 1022 grams empty.

He's absolutely stunning!
I love BBs. Amazing snake you have!

He has to be the nicest bumblebee I've seen, and he's aging spectacularly!:sunny:

And as always Chris, wonderful photos!:gj:

Justin

Beautiful ! Probably one of the nicest I have seen.

Good luck next year if you do pursue the KB :D

Amazing Bee!

He's still wonderful looking. I love those olive tones on him.

smokin hot bee! its too bad he wont be meeting my female bee next season :(

That is a great looking snake!! I wish I could take pics like that Im not much of a photographer plus my camera sux...

He looks killer to me... :)

amazing the color on him, he is really bright.

Not to sound like the 15th echo in the cave, BUT, he really is one of the nicest bumblebees I've ever seen.

That bee has aged nicely. There are a lot of them that look ugly with age. Congrats on a fine specimen.

Beautiful specimens! One of my favorite.

Very awesome!! :D

Awesome bee, none of the yellow browned out as some bees do. He should make some killer babies.

He's a gorgeous bee and your amazing photography skills show him off beautifully. :)

Chris I should have kept him! Great pictures as usual good buddy!

Brock

Thanks for the compliments everyone! I'm he and my largest blushed out pastel can produce some sweet killer bees! :)

I love how he has yellow under the white on his sides. Looks awesome!
