Honeybees of March 2024

After a long wait, our buzzy friends moved into our balcony on Mar-16th afternoon. This photo was shot minutes after they moved in, the construction of new honeycomb had begun.

Usually bees stay at one location for three months. Our bees moved out on July 6th which happened to be a new moon day.

Here's a close up of the honeycomb. Perfectly formed cells of same size. Amazing creation by those marvelous creatures!

Honey bee framed

I was framing the shot and ready to shoot, this bee buzzed in and got framed. The bee was there for just a moment. By the time I could take another shot it was gone.


I wake up, reach Karnataka University campus, walk around Botanical Garden, select a flower to shoot and the bee had to choose the same flower at the same moment! What a coincidence!
