Jun 13: Bees

Three of many! These little gals race in and out of the hive so quickly. They've emptied their feeder in just four days and I had to re-fill. Once they've built up their own honey store, they'll stop taking the sugar syrup.

I'm using a 200mm lens plus extension tube here. Didn't want to get closer and use the 100mm macro. These critters can sting!

Canon EOS 20D
1/180s f/4.0 at 172.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I suppose re-setting the bees is all the buzz aorund your place.

Great capture! Here are some of their Irish cousins who went astray recently and had to be rehomed:http://www.pbase.com/maire/a_bee_story
