Taking in the sunset last week on the way home. In the upper left yo can see a swarm of birds taking air.

A sure sign that you shouldn't enter your house. Probably for a long time.

It should probably come as no surprise that I enjoy winter, but then again I enjoy every season as it unfolds.

It isn't often that I get the chance to observe a swarm of bees at close quarters, but this one was barely 2m off the ground along one of the woodland rides within Aversley Wood, near Sawtry in Cambridgeshire. I'd found it the previous day, when there was also a second swarm (or maybe a separate part of the same swarm) higher in the same tree. I didn't manage to get any decent photos of it at the first attempt, so I took a detour past the same spot on Friday and was pleased to find that the lower swarm was still there. The bees were also a little more docile on Friday, with very few flying around, which allowed for closer observation. This image was taken from a crouching position, so I could get a fairly unobstructed view.

The drones are have a multiplier effect in combat. It doesn't take many Monitor class starfighters to make a swarm.

Swarm at elbow height. Safe to approach ... the bees are busy with other things, but these are not your quiet yellow Italian domestic bees.

Second swarm this week.

How cool is THIS! We found the swarm at San Jacinto Wildlife Area today. Not sure what kind of bees these are...anybody know?

I had to try making one of DrWatsman's swarmer drones

 

apparently, I think the rear end is big enough to fit a pilot.

Ironic, that from these summery shots you'd think I'm out enjoying the sun. When in reality, I've been stuck here in the studio working these past few weeks...Sneaking out to get my daily dose of sanity.

I just happened to look out my livingroom window late one morning and saw... something. It turned out to be bees! I grabbed my camera and began shooting without making adjustments, afraid I'd miss getting a record of this brief and unusual event happening in the middle of downtown Vancouver. If you look carefully, you can sometimes see 3 or 4 sets of wing flaps as the bees fly during the relatively slow exposure in this first shot.

The noise was deafening. I couldn't tear myself away. The birds finally settled down after the sun set below the horizon.
