The Bees Have Eyes
I always knew bees had a strange number of eyes ever since a house quiz many years ago.. but my fear of bees/wasps and all things buzzy kept me from getting too close..... until I bought my camera in 2012 :)
While in Co. Wicklow back in June, I stayed in a beautiful cottage and the owner had the most gorgeous flower garden and of course, he was a beekeeper! I followed this little guy around for quite some time until I got just the shot I wanted.... and for anyone who can't spot them... there are 5, yes that's right, 5 eyes on a bee!!! Two compound eyes and three mini ocelli eyes :)
Looking out this morning at yet another cold and wet dull day - where oh where did our Summer go?
Thank you for views, comments and faves on yesterday's lake reflection pic - I appreciate your kind messages of thoughtfulness and I will try and get caught up as soon as I can with all your amazing work!.
I hope you all have a lovely Wednesday :)
