aquapell In reply to MonaLisaSmile1 [2006-05-15 10:48:22 +0000 UTC]

about 12" away. they only sting it they feel they or their queen are being threatened. they die after stinging.

Jupiter-Green [2006-05-12 16:40:13 +0000 UTC]

HOLY CRAP THAT IS AWESOME!



That is the best shot of a bee I have ever seen. . .and I have taken A LOT of freakin' science classes.

This is really fantabulous, Aquapell. . .you know, have you ever thought of like poning all of the DA photographers around here and dominating them with your splendiferous photos??

You should do it. . .they all suck compare to this.



Love and Luck,
Kat
