On a beautiful like today, Labor day, a perfect day to practice with my Macro lens taking close up pictures of the insects in our garden. And since the Mint has plenty of blossom, there are bee's flying off and on to grab the honey out of the flowers.
See here the results of around 100 shots with my Canon 100mm f/2.8 lens, taken with a Canon 5D.

Last weekend I checked the lavender plants in front of our house. It was a busy come and go of the bees collecting honey. Dozens of worker bees were flying between the purple flowers to suck the nectar out of the flowers. I decided it was time for me to try to make some close up shots with my Macro lens. Check out my Bee Close up pictures.
I tried to make a time lapse series of a burning Winnie The Pooh candle we had. However, I failed to set the lens on manual focus, so not all pictures are zoomed in at the same sharpness or focal length.
Package contains one Honey Pot Candle with Winnie the Pooh. Caution: adult supervision is recommended. This is an officially licensed Disney, Winnie the Pooh product.

The picture has been made with a Canon 5D, and a 100 mm Macro lens. The specifics of the picture are:
Exposure 0.3
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal length: 100 mm

So next time, if I want to make a time lapse of an object in the dark, using longer shutter time, I will set the lens on manual.
