The honey bee in this shot, taken yesterday, is about 14 feet off the ground in the middle of ivy growing on a pergola. Its wings are beating at 11,000 times per minute along with around 500 other bees in this ivy. The buzzing is very loud. I’m standing on a step stool with a 50mm SLR–bees are whizzing by me. This is nuts. But I take the photo regardless.

Our bees are directly behind our house. Instead of flying a short distance to the field a short distance away, they consistently fly straight up and over the roof of our two stories. In the sun, they look like little missiles zinging away.

I love watching watching them fly when the sun is on them. Yay!
