Profusion of nectar

    Newer Older

    This is the wonderful sight that greeted me when I opened up some hives yesterday - masses of nectar coming in as many new flowers become available - around here cherry, pear, apricot, peach and above all dandelions. I love the fish-eye lens effect on the meniscus - you can see the converging tree canopy above

      have them doing a little dance. Preferably dressed in tight dresses with pailettes and high heels.

      your subjects aren't in focus. this will not make it because there isn't a pop.

      @Slick - I like the idea of dressing the bees up. Maybe tutus next time?
