My wife and I were watching a Woody Allen movie late yesterday evening just before the sun went down, and my neighbor knocked at the door asking if we'd like to watch him transfer his bees from the box they were delivered in to his own box. I don't know the technical term.
So We watched him prep, dill a hole, suit up and transfer the bees, scraping out the nectar and the honeycomb that was built within 3 days - extremely interesting stuff.
4 bees got down my shirt so I ran around his yard half naked while my wife snapped pics of me on her iphone and I slapped my teeshirt against myself. Then I laughed as it happened to her!
Anyway - here's one of the images I took after I recomposed myself, that I liked.
I must add that I was NOT suited up, and I was using my 50mm, so ugh. I got stung a few times.
