This little slideshow was a challenge, the bees wouldn't slow down a bit. I'll back up a little. During the cold snap last week, here in Albany Texas I ran out of regular bird food, and bought wild game bird feed, well, unbeknown to me it has a small amount of molasses in the ingredients. The birds didn't like it much, but it really helps the starving honey bees, you see there are no flowers this time of year. The bees came by the hundreds and would dig in the powdery feed, collecting the powder like pollen then fly back to the hive.
Back to the challenging part, working with a cannon 55-250mm lens with the camera set on macro my depth of field is only about a half inch. To catch
a honey bee that can fly up to 15 miles per hour, in a half inch of space is the challenge.
You can learn alot from a HONEY BEE.
