Great shot ! All these bees are forming a wonderful pattern of orange and white. Good details and colors, nice composition, I like it that we see nothing more than just the bees, no BG, very good. Well done !

Hi Ram
Wow, what an impressive POV of this threatening, although (from your notes) a seemingly docile army. Have you counted them yet?
I like the frame filling shot that gives a sense of how great is the number of bees present. The colours and details are stunning and the exposure was well managed.
Very well done and TFS.

Loot

hello Ram,
I love pics with repetition of a theme or subject, and this is very impressive. Very good details and perspective, and it has worth because they are dangerous insects.
Good job!!

Hi, Ram!
A very interesting photo about bee life! People have spoken me about these swarms, but I see it for the fist time. The focus and colors are very good and show that these bees are as you call them orange, while in my country they are yellow.
Nice show! Thanks!

Hello Ram, Hope you well. This is quite a shot. Not sure if I would have the nerves to approach them that close. Well done anyway, the detail is good and I am sure your used to such large hives around where you live. Nice work.

Dear Ram,

What a marvelous picture! Regardless of the ID of the small unt, the pattern that is created here is stunning!

I have tried a different perspective; see WS with notes. Tfs. Jay

Hello Ram,
No these are certainly not Solitary! Neither are they the same species as the European Honey bee. But they do resemble the bee in your Saudi Arabian compound. So, as you say, we'll leave it open and I must say that this is a mighty capture!
TFS and referring me to this shot.
Take care, Ivan
