Bottle Feeding
« on: June 23, 2009, 05:12:01 pm »
Bought this doll bottle last year with the intention of taking pictures and never got around to it.  Have been really busy working with and expanding our bees this spring, so simply just took the time a few days ago to snap a few pics.  Here's a couple of me "bottle feeding" one of our Russian ladies. :-D

Thanks everyone for you comments.

Kathyp--usually enter a pic each year for our assoc. at the state fair.  If they want me to do it again, one of these might be the one.

I think its a great picture, very unqiue, thank you for sharing that with us!
You should send it in to one of the magazines, American Bee Journal or Bee Culture, I have seen less impressive pictures printed there, how many bees in flight pictures can there be and still be all that interesting.
I love how original this is.
