Bugs, bees and beasties- Bio-diversity matters

[Bundle 2]

Lifting the lid on the hive in the backyard here in its urban setting, I grabbed these images of the little bees. They are such well mannered creatures. A matter of luck as much as anything else as it is by no means a given that they offer you a cuppa when you go to steal their hard earned honey!

I tried to shoot a massive wood wasp yesterday, unusualy for me i was a little bit wary of this one so failed!

 

ive seen them before, frightening looking things!

I know they're a bit scary, but don't you think that's a bit of an over-reaction?

Probably, but those things look like they would take no prisoners, and sound like a B52 bomber so i take no chances!
