We usually film pollinator behavior with a 400mm telephoto lens, rather than a macro lens, so we can capture images of bees visiting flowers 3-4 meters away.  My preferred lens is the Canon Rf 100-400, a compact telephoto lens that weighs just 635g.  I use single point autofocus.

My students and I shoot video with the Canon full frame R5 mirrorless camera.   This camera produces very high quality 4k video at 120 fps.   The video can then be played back at 30 fps, which is ¼ normal speed.

Here is a short video clip from my new 9 min nature film "Pollination by wild #bees". The film highlights buzz pollination; grooming; nest searching and MATING by wild #bumblebees. #SCAPE2024 link to 9 min video: youtu.be/fQsnPAWQqcI

“Maybe at the heart of conserving insects is to be able to see them and connect with them,” says Hollis Woodard, an entomologist at the University of California, Riverside, “and these images are obviously a great way to do that.” smithsonianmag.com/science-n…

#SCAPE2024 @JeffOllerton is talking about the importance of pollinators for the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Plants dependent on pollination contribute greatly to global food production and economic wealth. We ❤️ plant-pollinator interactions + welcome all papers on this!

This is WONDERFUL. Beautiful clear footage of exactly what happens when a flower is 'buzz pollinated' by a bee - and clearly narrated, to boot. Thank you @PollinatorCons for creating this, and thank you @JeffOllerton for sharing on Bluesky... otherwise I might have missed it!

Our new nature film “Bumblebees, shooting stars and buzz pollination in the wild” uses slow motion macro video to highlight ecology of buzz pollination in #bumblebees and green sweat bees. Plus cool scenes of queens mating, grooming & nest searching youtu.be/fQsnPAWQqcI PlsRT
