Swarm of bees on the Providence sidewalk

    Newer Older

    This swarm was flat on the sidewalk... I'm not sure what was going on... I left before they started stinging everyone...

      Do you have any images of this in context?

      My shot makes it look much bigger than it was... The photo in the ProJo article reveals that the swarm is just a few feet across:

      Was just wondering if you had more. It looked like there would be some great gawker pictures to be taken! How loud were they?

      I've got a few shots of hands pointing into the swam, but none of the gawkers' faces... plz send me your email if you'd like to see them. I don't recall any buzzing... I'm actually allergic to bees so I didn't get too close... luckily I had a 300mm zoom lens in my bag.
