He first tried to tie a rope to the branch and cut it down, but once the branch gave way, the bees slingshotted everywhere. They re-clustered closer to him. He was able to stick a long pole out with a bucket connected to it and knock the cluster into the bucket. All of this was done 60 feet up with the wind swaying the tree.

that is amazing… all those bees… how did your dad ever get them all down.. there is no way he could have climbed out there… did he whistle and guide them into the hive… only kidding… but really, how did he do it.

Thanks! I try to shoot them when I see them. I’m not necessarily looking down all the time (usually looking up for birds) so I probably miss them often.

Guess you’ll just need to get a longer lens..

I would love to have enough resolution to crop it in closer, but unfortunately the image quality would suffer immensely if I were to do so.

Nice captures… Love the worm… that was a lucky shot for sure.. What if you just cropped in close on him… would the worm show up more? Although I do like the female peeking out of the bottom of the picture.

This picture is beautiful. and you are right.. TACK sharp.. You just convinced me I have to start saving up for a MACRO lens. Then you will have to teach me how to use it so I can get my flower pictures TACK sharp like yours.
