Right? This summer I am going to try to get one with pollen on it. But only if I find one dead. I don't wanna be killing no honeybee!
Nice. I just have a shitty samsung but it has a macro lens I like to take pictures of bugs with.
I almost went that route! But I wanted to take part in some citizen scientist projects, so I decided to splurge and get a real one.
