To Bee or not to be by maggiemae

To Bee or not to be

We were relaxing in this wonderful Hot Springs Camp and some other campers pointed out that our van was covered in bees! We had the insect screens all in place and so not too worried but it was an opportunity!
Definitely ‘or not to be’. Looks like a wasp to me! Stay clear of those mast blighters! Great image.

@dide Hey Dianne - maybe I used the contrast too much. Definitely a bee - John thinks there is a swarm somewhere!

@gq I'm learning from different apps as to how to portray a subject, .... now I wonder if I can do it again with my limited memory!

A nice photo. Your van covered in bees?!? I am allergic to bees so I would have been terrified! This one looks like a yellow jacket or meat bee...the tenacious aggressive kind, not the honey bee.

@gardenfolk Oh, goodness! I have my bathing suit out there hanging to dry! Imagine if there was a bee inside when I chose to put it back on??

@maggiemae That would be a No No! I think those bees are attracted to soda cans though and they might surprise you if you took a drink from one!

Quick - get John to build a hive - a source of honey as you travel!

Great model and composition. Be careful!

@dide But....but,... it might affect our internet? Can't do that! Forget honey pots - only for Pooh!

@haskar With insect screens and very careful going outside stuff, we will be secure and not stung to death in our bunks!

Oh, Yes, a great shot. Glad your screen were in place.

Glad the beasties are on the outside of the caravan.
March 9th, 2018  
nope, that is definitely a wasp that one

Now that is the question !! Maggie !! You two must have been extremely sweet to attract al the bees !!

Not to bee :) Nasty little fellows these things. That being said he is very photogenic :)

Van covered with them would not be interesting but your photo is awesome! I love how you have composed it. There is a great light on the subject
March 9th, 2018  
Great, clear shot of this bee...Never a dull moment in your life :)

i would've swatted them all. that reminds me i need to find my fly swatter.
March 9th, 2018  
great shot, I like the clever composition.

Clever shot - love the shadow.

@kali66 I think you might be right, Kali! They are still here so will see if they fly away when we leave the site - or else we might have to spray!
