This group of honey bees were busy gathering the small amount of honey that remained in some old honeycomb.

This is a “composite” image. To create this image I focused my camera on an area where the bees were working and locked down the position on my tripod. Then, I snapped a number of photos when bees were in the frame. Then I combined several of the images – with bees in various positions – in Photoshop. All of the bees you see in the image were exactly where you see them…but not all at the same moment in time.

I had it in my mind to create this image since the day I snapped the photos last June. I finally got around to taking the time to combine the bunch. There were four separate shots used to make the image you see here.

This is one you should view full screen. You can see some great detail in the in the bees. To bring up a full-screen image, just click on the photo.
