Great shot and the hive is totally is focus which i appreciate.....surely its at the maximum focal length as Mandrake said!! As the shot is grainy at the left side of the picture which is not in focus!!

Thanks for the comments, and yes I did use the high end of my 75-300 not wise to get up close and personal with a swarm of bees.

Hello John... I'm glad to see you back.

I think this is a great shot considering the flights of the bumble bees.
The only bees out of focus are because of the shallow depth of field.
I can't determine the focal length on this, but I'm betting it was at the long
end of the 75-300.

Next time get up really, really close to the hive and tell them all to say "cheese".
Hmmmm... maybe not.

Found a beehive in a tree, I took 2 dozen shots only one or two were usable those little guys are fast. I used a very high shutter speed to try to freeze the action. 1/1250, f/5, iso 320, canon EF 75-300mm
