In hollow of tree trunk12 total reviews
Comment from Shadow catcher
that's definitely a LOT of bees! Supposed if you got bored you could count them and see how many there are-lol! This would make a great puzzle.They are all very well focused with good natural colors,like the reflection of light off their wings. We used to have a large hive inside a hollowed out pine tree for many years until three years ago when an early spring wind knocked off the top half of the pine,exposing the inside;then it snowed.haven't seen many honey bees since then;the raccoons made short work of the immense amount of honeycomb in side the trunk,though. A very unique imge that is well composed Nd nicely presented,thanks for sharing!

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Mary,
An interesting picture of this Swam of Honey bees possibly having swamed from their "Hive" due the Wildfires, resting in that tree until the "Scouts" find a suitable place for a hive, then the Seam will fly there & build their Combs for the Queen to lay her eggs & to store the nectar to make their Honey. Beautiful composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.

Must have gone to Australia because of our cold winter here! Your fine and full composition offers us an enjoyable view of the multitude before you. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

Thanks Dick - yes if you get close they will but fortunately they are at the top of a tall dead tree :) :)
Comment from cleo85
What a strange sighting. European Honey Bees, that means the are probably domestic. That indeed points out that they lost their domestic home and are try to escape from the wildfires. The photo is perfect focused and exposed. Details are excellently refined and the colors are realistic. That the frame is entirely filled with the insects intensifies the impression that there are hundreds of them. The photo is well framed and exposed.

Maybe a swarm looking for a home with a queen??? I like the clarity, the colors, the story and the composition. Nice to see a few bees as they are becoming scarce, thanks

a great find and fantastic capture Mary; you must check with local authorities if they are really European bees and not African bees (much closer to you); if they are African: high danger!
