Went out to see Roland and Wolfgang from Apis-Z (www.apis-z.at) today, they have 12 hives in a little custom house in Klosterneuburg which is on the property of the Martinschloss. Had a few minutes for macro shots of the bees at one of the hives. Got a couple of nice ones but also caught the efficient murder of a bee by a wasp...
Another shot from Croatia. You can see the pollen sacs quite well and I love the whitish colour. However, look at its wings - they have very likely been shredded like this through the rough treatment they get from large commercial beekeepers.

Bees!
As part of striving to becoming a better global citizen, I am following up on what we can do to help the bees that live around us. This started off as a photo project about bees but has now turned into keeping my own bees and learning more about them! Archives
