A Bee of a Different Color
Uploaded: April 13, 2009
A new bee colony was moving in out by our workshop and I managed to approach quietly enough to get a few photos of them swarming. It was SO exhilarating to watch them up close and personal! AND, of course, just HAD to add my own little touch of unique coloring.
