Neat shots. Back in high school... dad had baled some small square alfafa bales right by a bunch of bee hives. He parked the tractor and bale rack aways from it and then inform my brother and I to move slow and get the bales. We questioned his logic but were told to go get them. If I remember right he reaffirmed us by saying... " quit being pansies and go get them or else !! ". It sucked !! Walking into a swarm was no fun to get bales. They would land on you and get in your hair. Crawling on your face. They would go down your shirt which we ditched for fear of getting bit when they couldn't find their way out. Never got stung but boy were we glad to get done. Dad sat on the tractor and seem to be amused with the whole ordeal. Then they was the one time with a pissed off badger... Tim
That reminds me; last November during rifle season I had bees try to start a hive up on my ladder stand. That's a terrible combination, let me tell you. View attachment 16607 Hopefully I attached the pics correctly. Not very tech savvy. View attachment 16608
Thanks guys. I was pretty lucky to see this and have my camera with me to capture it. I've only ever seen this like 3 or 4 times before. took all these with my Nikon D300 and a 200-400 f/4 VR lens.
