  • Thebusy bees are out & about

    G'day all

    We had a warm-ish & sunny-ish day today after some cold & wet days, so I decided to try out my 'bee-hunting' techniques
    I have always found it very hard to catch 'the little blighters' as they move so fast and hover for such a short time ... but I managed a couple of keepers

    1) landen with pollen all over


    2) trying to hang on in the [slight] breeze


    As always feedback welcome
    Phil

    Not too bad Phil, missed the second one by a whisker. Is that on a Flowering Gum?

    The real challenge of course is to catch them flying past!

      Good stuff Phil. I have spent hours at a time trying to catch the little buggers too, not easy but a lot of fun.
      Cheers, Brad.

        Yeah fellas ... trying to catch the little buggers ain't ezy ... but obviously "someone who shall remain nameless" has managed to show off his skills
        Well done Greg

            Good work Phil, like you say, not easy because they don't play ball. I'm lucky here because they just love ripping apart the magnolia flowers and don't seem to be bothered with a camera stuck in their little faces.

            I just fired myself from cleaning my house.
            I don't like my attitude and I caught myself drinking on the job.
