Anddd this assignment is now LIVE for June 2026! Can’t wait to see all the sweet photos y’all take this month! 😉
It made it kind of easy for me because I have a brother who does beekeeping. Do you know of anyone in your area that does beekeeping? Perhaps you could reach out to them and find out if there would be a time they could let you shadow them with a camera for a time?
This assignment was a bit more of a challenge for me, and I also made the mistake of not checking how much honey I had to use, so I didn’t really have enough, but it was still fun overall!

Here are some submissions for this assignment! I thought I’d do some of bees in nature…as I didn’t have great options for still life honey or actual beekeeping, and I do really enjoy photographing bees on flowers and had several good photos in my portfolio already! The dandelion ones I took this month with the assignment in mind! I had a cool moment where I had two bees and a butterfly land in my frame!
Hope they are a blessing even though they didn’t capture the assignment perfectly!

These are my submissions for this month’s assignment! At first I wasn’t sure about my composition, so I just kept moving things around until I found something that I liked 🙂

EXCELLENT use of foreground blur, @blessingscaptured!
From looking at the photos, I would never have guessed you were low on honey, Henry @samuelwest.
Those are some amazing closeups, @loewfam!
You’re really controlling the light well there, @william-fallow72gmail-com
I really enjoyed seeing these previews and can’t wait to dive deeper into critiquing them tomorrow.
Congratulations again to @loewfam on being chosen as the winner for this assignment! Webinar replay is available at this link.
