Will | Macro Photographer

Loaded with pollen and still hanging on. Bumblebees can haul a serious fraction of their own body weight in the stuff, which is roughly you doing the weekly shop with a rucksack full of bricks.

Shot at 1.5x on the @venuslaowa 180mm f/4.5 Ultra Macro APO, adapted onto the @canonuk R5 Mark II. Manual focus, handheld, about few frames before she lifted off. Two of them were sharp.
Then I edited in @lightroom
