Bottle Feeding

Bottle Feeding · 07:53 PM

Its been quite a while since I posted anything.
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 bees.

Such a cute little bugger. Hopefully you'll raise him right and he won't turn into a hornet.

Very nice shots.

That is way cool Arvin. Have you thought about changing the colour of the top (yellow maybe) to make it more attractive to them?
You never know, you might get to hand feed a hummer that way.

Check it out...it's Eric the Half-a-bee.

Actually, you're a braver man then me. I couldn't get anywhere near that close to a bee.

Thanks for the comments, folks

Venturi-Clever. Sounds like someone who may have had experience with teenagers.

Damn Brit-Think I'll leave the hummers to you.

Hey Elwood-Actually, one of the reasons I like taking pics like these is to let people see they aren't the vicious little insects some think they are.

Cupic-Haven't got them to sit still so I can pat their back, yet.

dcmsox2004-Noticed that, too. Tried cropping it to bring that out, but lost the total "bee in the hand" perspective.

Thanks again,
Arvin
