The Bumble Bee is a fascinating insect that contributes to the environment by pollinating flowers, but sadly, is threatened by numerous factors, such as pesticides and threats to its normal habitat. It is becoming an endangered species and The Bumble Bee Conservation Trust issues a valid warning on its website (www.bumblebeeconservation.org), "Without Bumblebees, we could soon face our own crisis." Through my photography, I seek to capture the beauty and the fragile nature of this wonderful insect and hopefully raise awareness of the importance of the bumblebee and the threats that it faces.
