Bugs, bees and beasties- Bio-diversity matters

[Bundle 2]

Lovin' the bees in trees David!

I was told in conversation this w/e of a developer who, on finding bees nesting in the garden of the place he'd just acquired in Brighton, tried to burn them all. He poured white spirit all over the nest and set it alight . He had to do it again the next day as those remaining had tried to regroup. He cited his allergic reaction as his reason.

You far more likely to get stung if you attack them ...ignorant git!

Looks like youve been paying a lot of attention Albedo!

 

good framing, lovely composition, the shadow, foliage and sky and white object all converge on diagonals, sweeettt!

 

for quick hand held shots, up the iso rating to 800 and use the extra Fstops to gain depth of field.
