[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A picture of a hive of bees working at what bees work at, gathering food and making honey for the next year. The colony is fairly large. I didn't have my macro lens yet so I didn't take a close-up. They 'dance' when they get to the hive to inform their fellow female workers that there is a food source. The choreographing is very important to giving the precise location of the new food source and is highly advanced mathematically. What wonderful creatures God has created!

I simply shot a bunch and made this from the larger picture. PP--almost none except cropping and sharpening.

Hello Gary

A very good idea for a photo.The bees make a wonderful pattern.The focus is well done and I like the crop and POV.It fills the frame nicely.I may have saturated the yellows a little bit up ,to punch up the colour of the bees maybe.But I still like the shot as it is too.TFS

Very busy, and nice shot... I like the colours a lot !
