Busy Bees

Best viewed in orginal.

Yesterday I went out to see how much gas we had left in our
propane tank and I found these bees making a beehive. I ran
back to the house and grabbed my camera and step stool. Beck
stood by patiently so he could spray the bees. Nope I didn't
get stung.

Oh wow. What we won't do for our art! This is a really great shot. And 80mm is soooo close. I might get close up & personal with bears, but I'd be afraid to ever mess with hornets. You are a very daring girl. Great capture. I can even see the flutter of wings that indicate that the hornets were active when you shot them.

Wasps/Hornets...look like the European wasp to me...very dangerous if they attack, Katie.
