The bee's knees
Congratulations to Karine Aigner, who's dynamic photo of a cactus bee mating ball stole the show at the fifty-eighth Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
Her bee-level close up captures the moment a mass of males, wings whirring and intent on mating, swamp a single female at the centre of the ball.
