Great pictures!
We keep bees and just put out 4 hives yesterday. Now we wait on the bees to arrive and to be placed in their new hives. We lost 5 hives over winter : (
It was a tough year.

Bees are our friends, unless you try to steal their honey, then they'll fruck you up!!!! :D

Awesome pics my friend and yes, the bees aren't doing too good, a few have come back in this area, they LOVE my holly bush. And the lilac by the street.

Tink is friends of the Bee. Plus they give him honey for promoting their cause so...

BEE KIND TO BEES!!

See? Bee kind to...yeah, you get it!! :D

Bee careful.

we had a huge swarm in an oak tree couple years ago here. africanized bees are *not* to be fooled with. walk as close as 20 feet or so and they send the scouts out after you. brrrr. i called the bee guy.

@larry: perfect comment.

Sweet!

=:o((((`

I'll definitely keep them off of my porpoise : )

Thanks y'all. EP? Pfft

Wow! Great pictures!

Wow!
To bee or not to bee
and you did.
I'm glad you were able to take such close ups without an incident. Fascinating world of bees. Hope you get an EP for this.

♥R

Those pix are the bee's knees.

I do love bees. Five generations of beekeepers in my family. My brother will be the last. Colony collapse disorder has broke his bank account.
If all the bees continue to die eventually so will we...

That is SO cool!! Maybe you'll get to see the waggle dance!

Trig - the pictures are awesome. Better be careful - don't let her get too close. We used to get hives in the mango trees when the land was ours. When it was full, it started to drip and the great ants arrived making a beeline for that spot on the ground, then we wd smoke them out to get the hive down. Your computer is fixed now, and u r back :)
Art, somebody did get deleted, even tho it must have been bec he might have accidentally messed with the codes - it still is not funny - how wd you like it if you lost all the comments and everything? But you made me laugh too with the porpoise picture :D

what harm do cell phone towers do to the honey bees?

These are beautiful pictures. The close-ups almost look like landscapes. I love honey bees; there's a town in Ohio that has a nice festival every year celebrating them. That comb is something else; it is amazing to me how they're able to build something like that.

Man, I wouldn't get that close to a bunch of bees for a shiny penny. Cool as hell though. You said it was radio signals killing the bee pop.? I didn't know that, but knew it was a serious problem. A lot of people don't know how valuable they are. Great Pics~

Wow - pretty amazing photos. I'm itchy just thinking about it! (Bee phobia)

:)

Actually the annihilation of the bee has more to do with new farming than with cell towers. Chemicals are not only hazardous to bees but reworking the pollination system mother nature created. As the bees go, so will man.

Oh, and the pictures are way cool!!!!

Very cool! My daughter, a painter, is doing a series of bee-themed paintings for her BFA final show. I'll have to forward this to her.

Very cool. I'm allergic to bees so I admire your bravery.

Fascinatingly beautiful!

love the photos. R

Thanks to all. I've been kind of 'away.'

What a lovely, odd occurrence, to have your landlord put a bee tree in your yard. V is terribly brave, wanting to put her hand in. How does one get the honey out?

wow!

Egads! we need more cell towers! ;-D

Bee-yewtiful. There was talk awhile back of some kind of aphid-like parasite killing the bees. My maternal grandfather was a bee tamer.

Wow! Super cool!! Yummmy honey too??
