Bear and Bees 10_28_05.jpg

I would love to tell you that I spent the day in Yellowstone but that wasn't the case today. I was at work all day and I took this photo before leaving the store. At Cabelas we have lots of taxidermy displays. On a certain level I really don't like them. I would rather think of them still in the wild. Then again there are a few; and, this grizzly, covered with bees, while going after the honey in a beehive is pretty good. It is certainly my favorite display.

Bill and I had both made the same comment about the bees placement. It really does look too organized.

the bees are placed in much too orderly a fashion for me

Not really Robin...It is my favorite display in the store where I work. Anyone could taken this photo and I'm sure that thousands have. I'm amazed at the number of people that go through our store with cameras taking pictures.

Incredible catch... excellent photography. I guess the bear would say "How Sweet It Is! "
