Well just a BBC video of bees in a Bristol garden. What dedication this photographer has given to his subject over the years and what a beautiful unkempt garden, a secret paradise for those insects that fly by quite undisturbed by our presence.
From early childhood I have loved the natural world, plants, insects and yes the little tiddlers we caught in the pond as well as the frogs and toads hopping around. Up to the age of about 12 we had a lovely Victorian garden, see here and then I got put into boarding school.
So enjoy the many species of bees this photographer finds in his garden, I have always loved the bumble bees, rescuing them when I can, though I know someone will tell me not to feed them honeyed water though they seem lively enough when I have done it.
The bee is the greatest pollinator on this Earth, she provides the food on which we rely on, and yet they are disappearing sadly because of over-use of herbicides and pesticides.
The video is incredible. What patience and what wonderful photographic skill. People travel thousands of miles to 'see the world' and yet so many miss the marvels to be found in their own back yard.
