Didn’t I used to fear bees??

Just a few cool snaps of bees.  The first one is a group of bees gathering on the outside of a modern hive.  The second is of me and a beekeeper with a swarm of bees between us.  If you snip the wings of the queen, you can basically get bees to swarm anywhere you want.  In this case, they are swarming on some simple banana leaves, hung from a tree.  That whole dark cone is just hundreds of bees!!  Coolest animal ever.

I'm smiling because I like bees, but also because I have a guava in my hand. Not a bad life!
