That’s when I came across the APEXEL 100mm macro lens, which completely changed the game. Now, I can capture every fine detail, and it’s become a powerful tool for my passion and raising awareness about the importance of local biodiversity.
The APEXEL 100mm macro lens offers exceptional benefits for conservation groups and nature enthusiasts passionate about documenting and appreciating the diverse insect species in their local environments.

Bee wiping face – Bombus citrinus
The photo above shows a Bombus citrinus, commonly known as a Lemon Cuckoo Bumblebee. It was used to help document not only the lower reaches of this bumblebee’s range but also to demonstrate the positive health of the garden where the Bombus colony resided. Without such a detailed capture, the early identification could have potentially been missed. Also, the photo allowed me to show a lighter side of insect activity, hopefully increasing humankind's love of insects.
