How did you manage to capture this CLOSE up?!?! It is fantastic! HTD Donna! #9165576Bunny Snow January 16, 2011
Did you use a telephoto and a close up lens to bring the bees in safely and sharp to your lens?This is so well done, Donna. Well envisioned and executed!
What encouraged them to move on to a new location? #9166314
Donna La Mattino Pagakis January 16, 2011
Thank you for all of your great comments. I captured this up close, as the bees were making their new hive. They were so busy. that they didn't even notice I was there.It was exciting to watch!!!
