Week 16 – Becky

Honey Bee

We found out this past week that we had honey bees building a honeycomb in our eaves on the second floor.  We were hoping the bee keeper could take them alive but unfortunately that was not the case.  He sprayed them for us.  My husband and son opened up the eaves to find those bees had been very busy indeed.  There were 1000+ bees up there.  You could smell the honey.  Such a shame it had to end that way.  This is one of the worker bees that had fallen off the roof and was walking around.  I just cropped and sharpened.  Shot with Nikon D300s and 105mm lens.  My settings were iso400, f5.6 and 1/160sec.
