A close frontal view at the Apis mellifera bee from the previous post.
47 exposures at ISO 100 made with Sony NEX-7, reversed Schneider-Kreuznach APO-Componon HM 60/4 lens on Olympus Telescopic Auto Tube 65–116.
This bee was found dead in a swimming pool. I dehydrated it and cleaned the specimen, which went very well since bees are very tough, and can be cleaned thoroughly.
Stack was done with zerene and bugslaber: 165 shots.

Perang Api yang dilaksanakan pada saat pengerupukan yang dilaksanakan oleh masyarakat Adat Br.Gunung dan Umakepuh, Desa Adat Buduk, Kec.Mengwi Kab.Badung Bali sudah berlangsung dari sejak dulu yang saat ini kalau ditanyakan kepada yang umurnya paling tua tidak dapat memberikan makna yang jelas terhadap pelaksanaan perang api pada saat pengerupukan , dikatakan tetamian ( warisan ).
Untuk sarana upacara dalam agama hindu salah satu dipakai adalah “ Api “ sekarang pada umumnya memakai dupa, dulu orang memakai api dakep ( Dua serabut kelapa yang disilang didalamnya ada api), dalam pelaksanaan rentetan pengerupukan khususannya perang api yang digunakan adalah Serabut Kelapa dan api, dimana api adalah simbul keberanian, keberanian terkait dengan kesaktian / ilmu kebatinan, jaman dahulu banyak yang mempelajari ilmu kebatinan dimana sudah dipastikan adanya adu kesaktian, sudah dipastikan dalam pertandingan ada yang kalah dan ada yang menang.
Dalam pelaksanaan perang api pada saat pengerupukan dilaksanakan pada saat Sandikala yaitu jam perbatasan siang dan malam yang mempunyai makna rwa bineda ( dua yang berbeda ), dalam perang api tersebut kita saling lempar api juga memiliki makna bahwa yang kita perangi adalah musuh dalam diri kita yang sangat sulit dilumpuhkan, misalnya hawa nafsu yang besoknya hari raya nyepi kita melaksanakan Tapa Brata Penyepian .
Siapapun mereka dalam kehidupan sekarang dapat menunjukan keberanian yang positif dan kemauan dan dapat mengalahkan musuh yang ada dalam dirinya ( Sad Ripu ) maka mendapatkan ketenangan yang abadi .

Fire war that held when "Pengerupukan" (a day before silent day)
hosted by the society of Br.Gunung and Umakepuh, Desa adat buduk, mengwi, Badung, Bali
was a inheritance from the ancestors.
as the implementation of Pengerupukan especially on Fire war
the atribute they need is coconut fibre and fire, as fire is the symbol of bravery.
fire war being held on Sandikala (about 6pm) which is the border of day and night that have a meaning of rwa bineda (two that different),
on fire war the part when we throw fire on each other also has a meaning that the one we fight is the enemy inside each of ourselves
that really hard to defeat, like for example the lust as the next day is the silent day,
we have to do Tapa Brata penyepian

Nel nome dell'ape e della farfalla e della brezza, amen.

In the name of the Bee –
And of the Butterfly –
And of the Breeze – Amen!

Barka iezadazue geldialdi hau izateagatik, unibertsitatean 12 ordu egunean pasatzen ditut orain eta ez dut beste ezertarako denborarik izaten. Denbora librea amets bat da egun hauetan, familia eta lagunak aurrera jarraitzeko indarrak dira.

Sorry for not been active these last days but I'm spending 12 hours per day in the university and I barely have time for anything else. Free time is a dream this days and my strength to keep going are family and friends.

Windfallen pears attracted lots of flies, wasps, Bumble-bees and Honey Bees. Some Hornets took advantage of the sweet fruits for themselves and preyed on the other insects as nutrition for their larvae. Bumble-bees were often grabbed, but immediately released again, all others were flown to the nest.
Thanks to Jürgen Schmidt for a great afternoon, he has some fine shots of Hornets with wasps and bees:

Giornata mondiale delle api
World Bee Day is observed on 20 May each year to draw attention to the essential role bees and other pollinators play in keeping people and the planet healthy. It provides an opportunity for governments, civil society and citizens everywhere to promote actions that will protect and enhance pollinators and their habitats, improve their abundance and diversity and support the sustainable development of beekeeping.
World Bee Day shines a light on the habitat of pollinators to improve the conditions for their survival so that bees and other pollinators may thrive.
The date was chosen as it was the day Anton Janša, a pioneer of modern apiculture, was born. Janša came from a family of beekeepers in Slovenia, where beekeeping is an important agricultural activity with a long-standing tradition.
We have been celebrating this day since 2018, thanks to the efforts of the Government of Slovenia and FAO, with the support of Apimondia, that led the UN General Assembly to declare 20 May as World Bee Day!
Api e impollinatori svolgono un ruolo vitale per l’agricoltura e per gli ecosistemi globali. La Giornata mondiale delle api 2023 ci ricorda che le api e gli altri impollinatori sono indispensabili alla nostra sopravvivenza: dobbiamo fare il possibile per proteggerli combattendo il degrado ambientale e aumentando nelle persone la consapevolezza del loro ruolo a difesa della biodiversità.
La salute degli ecosistemi e la sicurezza alimentare dipendono dalla salute delle api, eppure non ce ne preoccupiamo. La produzione intensiva di monocolture, la perdita di habitat e l’uso improprio di pesticidi rappresentano gravi minacce per gli impollinatori perché riducono il loro accesso al cibo. Inoltre, l’esposizione a sostanze chimiche nocive indebolisce il loro sistema immunitario.
La Giornata mondiale delle api (istituita per la prima volta nel 2018 in onore di un pioniere dell'apicolltura, lo sloveno Anton Jansa) vuole sensibilizzare sull’adozione di pratiche agricole rispettose dell’ambiente e degli impollinatori, affinché i nostri sistemi agroalimentari siano resilienti, sostenibili ed efficienti.
