Honey Bees, Up close

Filed under: photography, Journal — gary @ 10:55 am

In late May I visited Farmer Todd’s 3 generation cherry farm as the Honey Bees were busy pollinating the orchards. Honey bees are rented out by cherry farmers in the spring to insure pollination. The bees are delivered for a 1 to 2 week period when the bees cover up to a mile in radius visiting blooming cherry trees.

I caught them at the end of the pollination period, but was nonetheless was easily mesmerized by the bees work, structure and soothing sounds.
