Honey Bees, Bumblebees, And Photographs
Personal memory by Brandon
2014 • Charlotte, NC, USA
I remember going to Freedom Park and taking numerous photographs of honey bees and bumblebees while they flew from flower to flower. I often was careful not to provoke or disturb them, while at the same time being extremely patient for the picture-worthy moment to emerge. In recent years, I keep seeing less and less honey bees as well as bumblebees, so it came with no surprise that they are currently on the endangered species list. I just hope that we can bring the bees back from the brink similar to what happened with the bald eagle a few years ago.
