On a photo hike yesterday, I went way out in scrubby woods....in an area with tangled terrain, no paths to follow.....and nobody ever goes out there. I was hoping for finding a rattle snake or a coral snake...any kind of snake shot....but aside from a gator or two, a turtle and birds...I was not seeing much wildlife. Being far-sighted...I walked all the way up to a tree...that at first I thought was diseased...and I thought covered in a fungus. I got within 4 feet and could see what looked like heat waves...and duh: yes....it was bees. The honeycombs were approx 4 1/2 FEET in length, and approx 3 feet wide. Nothing like fresh honey with your tea....{ so I drove to the store and bought some....:)

Thanks guys! It was very hard to get it to fit in the shot....and thus, I had to make the borders because in sizing for post, I decided to size for length instead of width...
I'm not that great at sizing photos....:)

hahaha Alain!:)
Nahhhh, I don't think it was africanized bees....as clutzy as my approach/ stmbling upon them was....:)
They were really cool..and I watched them a very long time. I have maybe 10-20 shots...and no matter what...I never can get the sharpness that the photographers here seem to acquire. I would not want to sell the shot to a newspaper..even if they wanted it...coz they'd want to know where and then the bees would be in jeapordy.

You've got a winner here Terri. Not only is the capture a great one, but search the site and I don't believe there another shot of a "beehive" to be found. I've been stung a few times in my years but have forgiven these insects primarily because I LOVE HONEY! LOL A much maligned insect that is extremely important to agriculture. Recent News items have claimed we are losing large numbers of bees in this country. That may not upset too many people until they experience shortages in produce and high prices at the Supermarket. Great Post!!

WHAT IS MAN WITHOUT THE BEASTS? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected. ~Chief Seattle VISIT MY GALLERY
Incredible! I have never seen a bee hive like that before! I would have run away if I saw that thing. Bee nests make me nervous! Excellent image though! The power of nature huh!!

When i first saw this i thought it was a bear :P
You should've taken it and surprised your neighbour with a bee-bomb >:)
Then ... sell the honey to pay for the court case :D
Great shot Terri :)

A little too close for comfort! Nice shot Terri. Honey is good with rum. Usually bees won't create there combs in such an easily observed location. Its usually inside of a hollowed out tree. This is a very unique shot. Well done. =)

Whoa! That would stop me in my tracks! What a sight. I see that you stood back to take the shot! Can't blame you for that. What an amazing image it is too! Great post.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Live simply. Speak kindly. Care deeply. Love generously.
Oh wow. I don't believe I have seen a post of one of these before. Congrats on a first. I understand the bad kind of bee (African Killer Bees) are in southern Louisiana now. Florida ain't that far away so bee careful. Great post.

I need to catch up on things so can't comment too much. But I love all of your fine images :)
What a fabulous find you stumbled on (and thankfully not into)! You were looking for snakes? You're the wild life woman.

...of all the things i've lost...
i miss my mind the LEAST!
Seriously finding a wild hive hanging on a tree is quite a find. It also makes a much better photo than a hole in a tree with bees flying about. I love the folded nature of the honeycomb, it looks almost like a stalactite.
