AJC Staff Photos of the Year, 2011-- Bob Andres
Loganville --I was photographing this bee when in a flash its wings turned into a blur. I pressed the shutter release just in time to catch the moment of "lift off". A bumblebee "takes off" from a zinnia flower in Dale Davis Sikes' garden. Sikes is a Master Gardener and bee keeper. She is also one of the area's bee counters. Atlanta is home to many of the 100,000 bee counters who take a census each month of bees pollinating their sunflowers. Wed, July 6, 2011 Bob Andres bandres@ajc.com
